Cellar Door in Snow —
Driving through farm country you come around a bend in the road, and you see this lonely clapboard house. A lone tree afforded it some shade in summer—when those weeds grew tall and rangy— before autumn came and stole its leaves.
This is the second state of my Cellar Door line etch. I added aquatint and this quiet image has been transformed into a dark night visited by snow squalls.
This is an intaglio etching print made from a copper plate on which I used line etching and aquatint to create the image. You will receive a print from an edition of 40, signed and dated by me.
There are subtle shifts in tonality due to the process of being hand-inked, hand-wiped, and hand-rolled through the press. So, it will look very much like the pictures, but not exactly— the last photo shows some of said variation. It is NOT a digital print. It will ship flat with cardboard backing, in a cellophane sleeve.
SPECS:
These are printed on BFK Rives Printmaking Paper, White, 250 gsm
The ink used was a mixture of vine black and burnt umber, so it's a soft black color.
The image area is 7" x 7"
The paper is 11" x 11" (ruler-torn, not cut)
I recommend having the print matted to help the paper lie flat in the frame. Also a matted print just looks more finished.
