SALVAGE ART Show & Auction, Oct 1st - 29th

the Small Dog of Power...print #1... in the show.

Image is 10.6" wide by 16" tall on 12.75" by 18.25"  Japanese Nishinouchi paper.

has been SOLD. 

It is printed from an old pine barn board that was of the recycled barn wood

used in the construction of this original house 90 years ago.

The house was lost in a fire.

This board, and whatever wasn't completely burned up,

was saved for possible second lives.

You can see the woodblock just to the left:

The Small Dog of Power  is framed in a 21" x 26" solid oak frame which also survived the fire........................................

although the Grant Wood print did not.

These are larger pictures than I'd normally post,

due to some of the interested may not be able to attend in person. 

If you've any questions, just ask.

The auction is now over.

 

Landscape- woodprint

Once it's flattened, I'll get a better photo of it,

and the correct dimensions...it's about 26 or 27 inches wide.

so now's time to give white-line woodblock printing another go.
