Title: Moon Phases: Cool Waters, from The Moon Phases Collection.
"Cool Waters" was inspired by the song "Waters of March," written by Antonio Carlos Jobim. The version recorded by Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66 was popular when I was a kid.

One of the first printing blocks I've cut is the Moon Phases, and I've used it to print fabrics for collages to represent seasons and cycles. For example, I created both "In the Fields" and "Spring Blossoms" to represent Spring. "Summer's Heat" and "Cool Waters" represent summer and winter. Visit my Etsy store for availability.

Ready to frame - finished with a white paper mat available in two sizes:
10” x 8” - shown in the 2nd photo,
14” x 11” – shown in the 3rd photo, frame not included.

· Mat signed L M Olszanski on the lower right in pencil.
· Number and title on the reverse.
· Packaged in an acid-free clear envelope. It’s protected until you’re ready to frame it in a standard frame.
