Alternate Geometries

This image explores the difference between the fractal geometry of nature, as embodied in the tree and leaves, and Euclidean geometry in the rectangles, squares and circles. This is my largest etching.


It is a two-plate etching, aquatint, soft ground and lift ground. The image size is 17-1/2 by 23-3/4 inches. There is no edition but there are about 13 artist's proofs done in various color combinations and printed on two different papers.

St. Francis at Rancho de Toas II

Another image of the church at Rancho de Toas. This is probably my only true line etching.

The image size is 3-7/8 by 3-7/8 inches. There is an edition of 6.

[NOTE: This is an exception to my normal practice of color etching.]

St. Francis at Rancho de Toas

This is one of my favorite images - the church at Rancho de Toas in New Mexico.

Autumn's End

The leaves have fallen and Autumn is almost over. There is something about leaves and their various designs that appeals to me, especially after they have fallen from the tree.

This is a multiplate softground etching with aquatint. The image size is 7-1/4 by 11-3/4 inches. There is a edition of 4.

Searching for the Sun and Moon I

This a geometric abstract. Can you find the sun and moon in the design?

This is a three-plate etching/aquatint/Sharpie print. There is an edition of 5 with two artist's proofs. The image size is 10-6/8 by 8-7/8 inches.

Pueblo

This image is what we think a Native American pueblo looks like. Some do and some don't so this is not modeled on any one particular pueblo. There are numerous multi-story buildings and many ruins throughout Northern New Mexico. Some of them are stone and some adobe. There is a good example of the adobe structure outside Toas.

It is a two-plate etching and aquatint. The image size is 3-7/8 by 4 inches. This is an artist's proof for an edition of 10.

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.
