This linocut is an illustration for my poem, Blue. It’s one of my favorite types of scenes- a sweet nighttime setting with animals, an interesting sky, and a cozy home.
This linocut was printed in black ink onto Awagami Shin Inbe blue paper and painted with just a little gouache in descending rainbow colors. It is an edition of 20 prints. The image is 11 x 14 inches and the paper is 15 x 18 inches.

In the blue of the evening,
when other colors wash down,
to sleep in cracks of the earth,
we lose sight of some details,
but sense the greater picture.
