Lawrence they are wonderful. A whioe back we talked of the meaning and expresive nature of art. These have a lot of meaning and are very expressive, as well as very beautiful. ------------------------------ From: Sunnffunn@aol.com Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 12:59:06 EST Subject: [Baren 13074] Re: Baren Digest v14 #1295 is this wood speaking a bit like Michangelo when he worked in marble and said something like the image emerges from the marble? I take this to mean the marble spoke to him. ------------------------------ From: Wanda Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 10:07:38 -0700 Subject: [Baren 13075] Wood (from Andrea Rich) This came to the other mailbox - Rich wrote: Wood is natural, organic, possesed of a life of its own. There is just no comparison between between wood and linoleum in my humble opinion. It's like comparing hand made and machine machine produced. Do anyone know of reputable gallery's specializing in prints. Does such an animal exist? Are there any in New York? London? San Fransico? Anywhere?

Any comments on silk cut, too.

It is mounted on some kind of pressboard so will be great for oil but probably not so great for waterbased ink as the press board would swell if it got wet.

A wonderful presentation - thanks for sharing. Gayle, The portrait is lovely - whereever the mess was, I missed it. For you snake collectors, mine are finally drying and awaiting the final stage before slithering into envelopes and heading your way. Meanwhile, I am feeling more than a little intimidated by those that have found their way into my menagerie. Such lovely work - I am really disappointed when the mail is serpentless.

Daniel, I'm so glad you included Meagan's snake print. How old is she? Are all you print people "indoctrinating" your children? I bet woodblock.com could probably even find a place for a gallery of junior artists' work.
