Spring Break

Today is the first day of Spring Break. I sent the final balance to Adrienne Day to pay for our portfolio boxes for "Oklahoma Print Portfolio II". This is a project she has organized with printmakers across the state. It is going to be exciting to see what everybody made. I did a woodcut with chine colle called Tivoli. Although it obviously took its own direction, the initial sketches were in reference to a bunch of pink cabbage roses that I saw hanging over a garden wall in, well, Tivoi. I also photographed the roses. You can see how very different the two images are. That's how art works sometimes.

Great job! And always fun to be reminded of Adrienne. I first met her more than 20 years ago in V'Lou Oliveira's ceramics class. She's done great with that print portfolio!
