Here's the inspiration for my piece:

I'm doing a linoleum block print. There are different ways to print--I'm going with the reduction method, where you use one piece of lino, start with the background and remove areas for each successive layer.

I like this medium, especially for this subject, because it's almost like carving a wooden carving in linoleum.

Here's the second color, a red that I wanted a little darker that what came out of the tube. You want a certain sound when rolling it on the brayer; that's how you know the coverage is right.

And here's my fancy baren

One more layer tomorrow, with a bit of black for outline, then frame it on Saturday.
