Once again I'm traveling and away from my scanner. This trip is for my husband, who's been kindly holding down the fort and taking care of the animals while I travel to paint repeatedly this year. I'm giving a small bit back by being his second driver/shuttle bunny on his autumn whitewater trip.

We're in West Virginia for him to run the Gawley River. It's rained quite a bit, but I've done a few watercolors in between rainy days, and I'm also doing a few illustrations for the Call to Worship journal while I'm away. I'll be home to post stuff early in the week. We're pointing the car in that direction when Elmore gets off the river this afternoon. I'm looking forward to getting back to the next round of printmaking.

I got my first round of prints photographed yesterday. I haven't been able to do a very good job on them -- they're 14x22", and so way too big to fit on my scanner, as the watercolors do. These are all printed and ready to sell, thankfully in time for the upcoming Pink Palace Crafts Fair.

For the Tower Grove Park print, I couldn't decided whether I liked the brown or white paper, so I'm doing a smaller edition of each. They have such different feels, and I like them both for different reasons. These prints are $125 each.

Shelton Laurel, the name of the area where the woodworking school Country Workshops is, is also $125.

Overton Park was the first print I started in this series. It's the place closest to my home and my heart. I'm there every day I'm in Memphis, walking, drawing, or just sitting and watching the sky. I play my banjo near this tree a lot as well.

And finally the White River at Calico Rock in Arkansas. This series is a group of places that are dear to my heart, my own personal travelogue. The White River, and the Riverview Hotel right on it, is one of our favorite getaways. This print is $140 because it's three colors and requires three separate printings instead of just two.

I'm still working on prints for the Missouri Botanical Garden, Chickasaw Gardens, the French Broad River, and a second one for Tower Grove Park. Watch this space for more finished ones over the next couple of months. I'm trying to have them all finished for my November show at ANF architects.
