Desert print #1 hand printed linoleum cut by Lee Marchalonis. This vertical landscape features a saguaro cactus, agave, and a creosote bush. Hand-carved and relief printed, this lino cut is surrounded by an antique wood border. The design is centered on an 11"x14" sheet of recycled natural color card stock.

If you are unfamiliar with this process here is a description of how it was made:
The illustration is carved in reverse on 3 different blocks (1 for each press run). Lee carefully hand mixed her inks for two beautiful ink blend rolls. The first fades from orange to yellow for that sunset in the sky. The second subtlety fades from light green to darker green. The prints were finished with a third run in a brown ink overprint.

There are 2 designs in this series & you can get the pair at a discount - search desert scene in my shop.

Thanks for looking. Julie B.
