You have my vote for the most talented and energetic artist I know and I know a lot. I can't wait for the whole thing to be finished. I guess you can't either.

The last 6 or so in the woodcut gallery. Years ago I would have been horrified t hear that someone would handpaint a print. However having seen Munakatas prints at LACMA I figured what the hell. I have to tell you I've been having a ball. I would love any comments anyone would like to make including the ones I might have made years ago.

Did you paint the front or the back? I think Munakata generally painted the back (but not always) & used a thin paper. I've done this before and it's very invigorating. At first I was worried that the black sumi would run when I applied watercolor to the back of the paper, but it didn't.. Thanks!

I think I have an intaglio book by Ruth Leaf, but, unfortunately, most of my books are packed away, so I can't get to it." Ruth, are you that "Ruth Leaf"? Margaret M.
