Donielle’s New Hat

This is the most complex print I have attempted to date. It is called “Donielle’s New Hat.” There was never really any other title possible. Donielle is a friend and she gave me permission about a year ago to do this rendition of her photo. I had to wait while my skills grew into the endeavor.

It is a reduction linocut of 6 layers with the hand-painted earrings in a 7th color printed on vellum and mounted on backing paper of an 8th color. I am satisfied with it despite some technical issues.

It is a 4.5″ x 8.5″ print mounted on 8.5″ x 11″ paper and backing framed in a 9″ x 13″ frame. This is 1 of 13 in the world.
