Japanese maple print
After I sold several linocut prints this spring, I decided to cut a few new ones. I wanted to experiment with some new printing papers at the same time, so I ended up making this new piece and printing it and the replacement ones for sale simultaneously.
I have a lovely Japanese maple tree outside my front door which provided the inspiration for this piece. One year we had a very early spring and the tree fully leafed out way too soon. When we had the inevitable later frost, the tree was severely damaged and I though I might lose it. I did some serious pruning on it and after a few years of looking on the funky side, it is now back to normal and I look at it with pleasure every day.
