It wasn't too long ago when I started playing around with etching on wood. There was a lot more to learn than I realized in terms of the artistic limits, the best types of wood for the medium and even how to finish it for the best results. It's reminded me of the woodcut works of M.C.Escher who was a master of this process and the trial and error he must have went through. Although I in no way measure up to Mr. Escher I do have to admit that modern technology has made this incredibly easier to to get involved with. It's been a lot of fun and the experience has inspired me to tackle a few new artistic endeavor's.
The image to the left is a sample I created during these past few weeks of trying to perfect the process. I realize now what must be done within the artwork to really pull the detail needed to truly be special. So, I'm smack in the middle of creating my own art for use in this unique process. I look forward to sharing those with you.
