Sailing Wood Block Prints: Port Hole
If you are friends with McCarty you may be a lucky recipient of one of 24 Wood Block Prints of a sail boat viewed through a port hole, that i made for his holiday gifts.
The Port Hole series is inspired by our Caribbean sailing adventures.
I used Purple Speedball block print ink, Distress Stain, Gelatos, Watercolors, Acrylic paint on Hamilco white card stock. Each 7″x5″ print is unique.
Here are a few shots while in process…
Vacation Inspiration
I’m never doing nothing. Even on vacation, I like to capture the moment with a quick sketch or watercolor story. Long after, I’ve returned to real life, when I review these works, i’m still whisked away to the beach.
Here is the view from my most recent trip to Christiansted, St. Croix.
This was the view from the beach front condo in Christiansted St. Croix. Can you see the palms, people, beach and surf?
