'Farm Contours' woodblock edition finished...
I really enjoyed working on this relatively simple small multi-block print, after a couple years of reduction prints and some really large woodblocks that strained my small studio space.

Printing the second block this lovely Sunday morning... The rough grainy wood is a knotty pine plank, from a 1950s summer house that once stood by the beach in Ocean City NJ.
