Christmas 2008


-After a wood engraving by John Gilbert-

5" x 7" cherrywood block print on Somerset paper
with Graphic Chemical Bone-black ink.

Thanksgiving is still two days away, and already I have a finished
print for the Christmas cards I will be sending to family, friends,
and those who bought a print during the year. Perhaps this year
I will even start my Christmas shopping before Christmas eve!

It's a wonderful piece, Robert... very evocative of the Christmas season and childlike awe for Saint Nick.

Great work, Robert. The image has a wonderful days-of-yore feeling. I admire your very fluid, expressive carving.
