Breathe

A cream colored vertical print lying on rumpled grey fabric. The tall and skinny print depicts a beach receding to the right, with a pale blue-green ocean and whitecaps. The ocean is depicted with a gradient, more saturated blue at the shore and fading to a very very pale blue-green at the horizon. Thin pink and purple clouds are streaked across the sky.

Closeup view of the waves and sand, depicted in a pale blue gradient with heavy embossing. The sand picked up some texture and ink chatter from the carved linoleum block.

Three overlapping prints, showing different amounts of embossing in the sky.

Breathe in, breathe out. Let the waves take you to a place of serenity.

This print was created for Print Day in May, 2020. The dreamy scene is an original linocut block print, part of a limited run of only 11 prints. Each print is handprinted with heavy embossing on luscious cream-colored cotton paper. The subtle color gradients are blends of oil-based ink. Each of the four paper edges are either a natural deckle or torn edge. This print would look amazing in a floating frame that shows off the edge texture. Because each print is hand-pulled, there will be slight variations between prints.
