"The
Bachelors" is a drypoint on copper, which is made by scraping onto the plate with
a scribe. This technique can leave a bolder and more blurred line than a line
etching. I wanted to depict both the loneliness and the camaraderie among a bachelor
band of mustangs. Mustangs are very fascinating and beautiful to me in their own
right. "The Bachelors" is available for $125.00 US in a small limited edition (probably less than 20 prints). It is printed on a light brown decorative paper and measures 9 X 12 inches (unmatted). With matting this print will fit into a standard size 14 X 16 inch frame. |

"Dürer
Dog" is a hand-pulled lithograph. It was drawn, inked and pulled by me, the
artist, rather than by a printshop. It began several years ago as a pen & ink
study of a drawing by Albrecht Dürer, the great 15th & 16h century artist. I
recently resurrected my drawing and recreated it on a lithograph paper. This version
is much less 'tight' than my original drawing, which hopefully means I've made some
progress artistically. I also wanted the lines on the plate to look a bit distressed
to give the piece an aged appearance. "Dürer Dog" is available for $200.00 US in a very limited edition (probably less than 15 prints) due to the unknown aspects of the new technology of paper-plate lithography. It is printed on a very light buff-colored paper and measures 15 X 20 inches (unmatted). With matting this print will fit into a standard size 20 X 24 inch frame. Please specify beige or grey matting. |

"Joy",
a piece depicting driving, was also created using white ground. The substance is
brushed onto the copper plate before etching for a painterly appearance. I utilized
aqua-tint, dry point, and finally chine colle with several small pieces of dark-blue
Oriental paper. I someday hope to learn to drive since it looks like an exhilarating
experience. Often it seems the horses find it exhilarating too, which is what I
tried to capture with this piece. "Flying" is available in a limited edition of 30 prints for $225.00 US. It is printed on white paper with with black ink and has several pieces of dark-blue lace-type Oriental paper chine colle'd (pasted) onto the paper in several areas. The image measures approximately 10 by 14 inches (unmatted). With matting this print will fit into a standard size 16 X 20 inch frame. |

"Dressage Dreams" was
created using 'white ground', which is a white pasty substance that can be brushed onto a
copper plate to make the image look more painterly. I also utilized aqua-tint and
dry point to get the very dark areas. I am a dressage-enthusiast and placed this
rider on a horse with a more 'baroque' type physique. After applying the many
substances to this plate, it took on a dream-like appearance and hence, the title. Also available in BLACK & WHITE. "Dressage Dreams" is available in an edition of 20 prints for $225.00 US. It is printed on buff-colored or white paper and measures approximately 13.5 by 10 inches (unmatted). With matting this print will fit into a standard size 16 X 20 inch frame. |

"Stallion Spirit" is a
mono-type print, meaning that only one print can be pulled from the plate. I
'painted' the image onto a piece of Plexi-glass with ink. I then transferred the
image from the Plexi-glass to a piece of buff-colored paper by running the plate &
paper through the press. With this print, I wanted to capture the violence (and
simultaneously, the beauty) with which horses can react to each other. "Stallion Spirit" is a unique print (only 1 in the edition plus the "ghost print"), measuring 11 X 15.5 inches. With matting, it will fit into a 20 X 24 inch standard size frame. "Stallion Spirit" is available for $225.00 US. |
