"Roycroft Hyacinths"
Over a year ago, I was on the Roycroft Campus in East Aurora.
I had just given a demonstration of my technique of screen printing
to the participants in the Roycroft Elderhostel.
After I had finished and walked outside, I saw this delightful group
of white hyacinths blooming by the old print shop.
I combined them with the well loved Elbert Hubbard quote.
"If I had but two loaves of bread, I would sell one of them and buy
white hyacinths to feed my soul."
7" x 10" edition of 50, 2007 - $100
on white Stonehenge rag paper |

Rendered directly from nature - garden flowers,
field flowers and other evocative images are carefully drawn.
They
are often placed in Arts and Crafts pottery and enclosed within related
borders.
With brush and pen, the
compositions are painted directly on the printing screens. Five,
six or more screens may be prepared for the separate colors of each
image. Rich, matte finish, saturated color is used to
skillfully hand print each stencil onto 100% rag heavy, printing paper.
The small editions are signed and numbered, ready for matting and
framing.
The Copper Shop Gallery continues to have many of my
prints on display.
It is directly across Grove Street from the Roycroft
Inn in East Aurora, NY on the Roycroft Campus.
The Copper Shop
Gallery is open
daily 10 am-5 pm.
I have updated my blog.

See the
demonstration that I did for the Roycroft Summer Festival in the Copper
Shop Gallery, June 28 & 29, 2008.
As
well as making prints, teaching printmaking has been my joy.
I am
writing this blog to record my discoveries and to show anyone who is
interested in how I go about making screen prints.
