Artist Statement:

This image was hand-drawn using Corel Painter software and a Wacom tablet. It depicts spruce trees, a summer cottage, a wildflower meadow, and the distant ocean in Midcoast Maine. The print is from a series of digital monoprints. The black-and-white image is constant throughout the two dozen prints, while the color is unique to each individual print. The goal of the series was to explore how many different looks could be achieved with one black-and-white drawing. While the style is realistic, this not a manipulated photograph nor a reproduction of analog art. It is an original fine art print.
