This is the largest size of this tall and narrow original hand-printed photo. It measures 27 x 15 inches. It could be framed in a 30 x 18” frame. A sharper, slightly wider and shorter version of the 2022 photo of the same name. This new version is printed from a new negative and on smooth hot press paper without texture interferring with the details. This is a hand-printed photograph using a 19h century process. The view is of a very foggy misty morning in the woods in Northern California when one could only see the closest pine trees while all the rest disappeared into the white mist. The long narrow format is inspired by the height of the trees and by Asian scroll paintings. Though I t is a photo, it is reminiscent of traditional Chinese sumie ink paintings of craggy mountains with pines hanging off them. There are times when nature imitates art. On heavy 100% cotton watercolor paper. No white border.

The distant blue hills of my “Faraway Hills” series are ever-present fixtures in my real life. Down below is the bay and above is an endless web of tree branches. Their silhouettes have etched themselves into my memory. My paintings and prints are always nature-inspired and nearly always monochromatic. Having spent a decade as a printmaker making woodcuts, linocuts, etchings, aquatints and monotypes, my mind works in monochrome. I focus on a single color, composition, positive and negative space, pattern, lines and shape. I currently work in two mediums, acrylic painting and cyanotypes, a form of camera-less photography. Cyanotypes are a 19th century form of lensless photography also known as photograms, blueprints and sun prints. They resemble block prints or etchings but use no ink nor printing press. Light “etches” the image on paper I had painted with light-sensitive chemicals. MY NEWEST SERIES OF ABSTRACT CYANOTYPES: My technique is a form of experimental photography, much like the action painters Morris Louis, who poured his veil paintings, or Jackson Pollock who dripped and drizzled his. My abstract cyanotypes are luminous like watercolor paintings but are actually photographs. Each is a multiple-exposure lensless photograph make through deliberate movements of the light-sensitive paper during exposure to light. Different sections of the paper were exposed to light for a longer or shorter time, yielding multiple shades of blue. Each abstract cyanotype is entirely unique. These same lines, shapes and shades of blue cannot be recreated as the exposure of the paper was heavily manipulated by me during each printing. A traditional single-exposure cyanotype yields a white silhouette against a dark blue background.
