San Francisco de Asis

This is my best print of the church at Rancho de Toas, NM. The full name of the church is St. Francisco de Asis. In this image, I've tried to emulate the pointillist technique made famous by
French painter Seurat. With paint, it is a very difficult and time -consuming technique, but very interesting. As far as I know, this is the only color pointillist etching ever done and there is good reason for that.

This is a 3 plate, mixed etching/collograph. The image size is 9 7/8 by 9 inches. There is an edition of 3 with one artist's proof. There are also 4 monoprints outside of the edition.
