Nubble Lighthouse - Finished!

Nubble - 3x3" Reduction Linocut

Hi everyone who happens to visit this page on occasion!!

Due to being an essential employee here in US, I've been rather busy with very little time to post on here, but I have continued working on various projects.

First off is this 3x3 inch reduction linocut which is titled "Nubble".  I completed this little guy about 2 or so months ago.  The final two colors since my last post were a dark red for the roof and a dark grey.  I also tried a third black color for the top of the lighthouse, but my wife said she preferred the dark grey one so that's where I stopped.

 

Here are the final two color states on the linocut block before I finished the piece.  The left is inked up with the final dark red color for the roof while the one on the right is the dark grey that was printed previously.

I have new mini lighthouse blocks started for a couple other lighthouses from my Maine trip which include Bass Harbor, Portland Head and Pemaquid.  Hoping to make a nice small series of lighthouses that I got to see on vacation....and hope they all register as well as this one did.
