Sunset

This image is based on an earlier series, called Sunrise over Greenbelt Lake, that I did some years ago. Both images are based on a photograph I took of Greenbelt Lake in Maryland. This image is smaller and reversed from the earlier work and was etched using different techniques. This is the first time that I have ever based a new image on an older image, but I wanted to see how the older image might look in a different form.

This is a three plate etching/lift ground/destruction ground. The image size is 6 x 9 inches. It was printed using Charbonelle inks which have a richer color than the previous versions. There is an edition of 5 with 4 artist’s proofs.
