Pruning

2019

Loppers at work on a prickly pear, a green barrel cactus standing witness. Garden chores in the desert are a negotiation between species, and the cactus usually gets the last word. Hand colored.

Intaglio drypoint prints. Printed area approx 6 x 9 inches, handtorn paper approx 8 x 10 inches.

Drypoint intaglio print of a prickly pear cactus with sprawling oval pads being trimmed by a small pair of scissors held by a round green barrel cactus, hand-colored with green watercolor on the barrel cactus against a grey-toned background.

Alternate print of the same pruning composition showing the prickly pear and green barrel cactus with scissors, with subtle differences in ink saturation and plate tone from the hand-pulled printing process.
