Toscana Book

Toscana is a panorama of scenes the artist drew on site in rural Tuscany.  An olive tree seen from close range, a farm house and tile-roofed church, open into vineyards and sunflower fields, to a full tree-covered hillside.  The colors reflect the pure hues seen everywhere in this countryside: blue sky, terra cotta roof, silver-green leaves, dusty orange earth, yellow-gold fields. The covers are heavily textured cast handmade paper with pulp painting. All papers are handmade and the images are linocut/monoprints cut by the artist from the original drawings.
