New print - working out ideas

Concept:

Rural America, a car slowly rusts.
The open doorway to the farmhouse glows with light
A lone figure strolls toward the viewer.
Hiding in the tall grass.

Progress:
It's a 9"x12" copper plate.
Today's first line etch was of the car and farmhouse.
Warm sepias for the back ground will say yesterday.
A pop of color on the foreground botanicals will say today

Back from Savannah

Gina and I traveled to Savannah Ga for the Telfair Art Fair this last weekend, representing two generations of the Moskow family artists. We had a very successful show and plan to return next year.

David Moskow is the son of Loyce and Walter Moskow. Loyce and Wally met in 1952 at the Chicago Art Institute. Loyce taught printmaking to both Wally and David. Loyce had the press and if either Wally or David wanted to use it, they had to check with the boss.

Eventually David bought a small etching press of his own. When David moved to his studio, he gave the press to Wally. When Wally no longer needed to rent press time from Loyce, his print production quadrupled.
