Block Prints

My charming son Peter and I have entered into a Ulysses pact. We check in with each other daily, with news that we have made progress on a linocut. It would be unthinkable to fail. 

For me, linocuts are relatively new. Yes, I've done a few in my day, but they all had some kind of weird issue and I'm not that impressed with the results. Peter offered to get me to the next level (actually, I twisted his arm, but he was very gracious), and over the course of a few days, we did this three-color print:

It is MUCH slower working on my own, especially since I allow other considerations to hijack my linocut work. Finally, though, I have the background for a new print all cut. If I don't wander off, distracted, I'll cut some print paper, moisten it, and then do the first color pass today.
