Prints

I have so many people to thank for the opportunities that I have had to do printmaking. My sister Mary, Joe O'Connell, and Bela Petheo are some of them. There were others who helped out and I am very grateful.
I've used several methods to create these prints; Lithographs (printing on stone), woodcuts, linoleum prints, and offset monoprints which I did by puddling ink around and the using a roller to transfer it to paper.

	(left) "Your Choice" The age-old question, which came first.(right)"Cyclone" Using several different lithographic techniques I tried to evoke the havoc of a tornado.
	(left) "Homo Sapiens Sunset" My comment on the wisdom of nuclear fission an a power source. (right)"Tidings of Great Joy" A Christmas card that I never sent because the angel is frowning.
	(left) "Game-Rained-Out" A woodcut print from a piece of veneered wood that my father was throwing out. If this one doesn't want to stay on the screen touch it on the far left edge of the thumbnail (right) "Game-Called on account of darkness" Same story as before. I really like this one.
	(left) "Prisoners" was one of the prints where I saw the images in the grain of the wood before I had the idea to carve and print it. (right)"Red Offset Monotype a" Is the result of not wanting to waste leftover ink from printing something else.
	(left) "Windermere" A tribute to a beautiful lake by an unskilled printmaker- this was my second lithograph.(right) "Eye" This was my first lithograph.
	(left) "Bathtub Mary" A tribute to a devotional type of folk art.(right) "Game" this is a seven-color woodcut print based on a Pastel crayon drawing.
	(left)"Greed" was one of those peices where I could see a face in the grain of the wood and I carved it out. (Right) "Game-off the fence" another in the games series, a three-color woodcut.

About the Music

"Leelaleelaleelalou"

This was written to the melody of a little song I sang to my 2^nd oldest daughter Leela. The melody reflects her cheery personality. If you use a little imagination you can sort of chant the title and her name in various parts of this song.
