"Martinis" is a hand pulled black and white linoleum print depicting two dogs sleeping on a sofa in a comfy den with a roman shade behind the sofa open to a dark night with silhouetted trees. Two martinis with olives sit on the coffee table in front of the sofa. It is one of 14 linoleum prints I created for a solo show; "Dogs on Sofas"
I decided to create a theme for myself in order to have an excuse to draw and carve and then print some images that brought me great joy! I was a seamstress for 25 years and made many a slipcover for many a sofa in many different spaces. 3 years ago I adopted a dog for the first time in my [long] life and the melding of dogs and sofas and linoleum printmaking resulted in this series of prints. Hope you enjoy!
"Martinis" is a 10" X 11.5" image printed with crayon black oil based ink onto an 16" X 16" sheet of Arches 88 paper.
It is signed by me and will ship flat.
