The Forest Primeval

Florida's version of Bigfoot is called Skunk Ape. Legends abound all over the state, but are especially common in the Everglades with its million acres of wilderness. When I am out in the deep Florida forest with its cypress domes, hardwood hammock and pine uplands, I feel like I shed my separate, human identity and become a fellow creature with the rest of the teeming life around me. This piece was designed with atmospheric layers of tree imagery printed in layers on the press. I add a few color details and mount the piece onto a wood cradled panel 2” deep which is then clear coated with encaustic medium and then pigmented encaustic frames and enhances the piece. Multi-layered, multi block linoleum relief print. Sweetwater Picture Framing offers an archival fine art print of this work.
