New lithograph – work in progress
Very excited to return to Shark’s Ink. in Lyons, CO to make another lithograph.
Here is an image of eight plates I painted on Mylar, all stacked up. Print will feature an endangered northern leopard frog – my third print with a Colorado animal. Can’t wait to see it in color.
