No, though it was a beautiful summer day , she is not absorbed in a beach read . it’s June 24, 2022 with the news of “Rowe v. Wade”
I still remember that afternoon working with Walker , hence “Absorbed” came to be.
Like these present days - it’s too easy to find oneself “down the rabbit’s hole”
🌞 better to feel the sun shining down on this old straw hat of mine , it’s now enjoying it’s 18th summer 🌞
It was exciting to reproduce this print from my charcoal original with @funkandschuster .
It’s their first Studio Show of all their represented artists ..
Onward and many more!

Takes time to absorb all the beauty that surrounds me especially when the world turns , how to possibly capture Mother Nature ? I am aspiring to grander heights !!

What is a Lithograph? 🖼️

A lithograph is a timeless printmaking technique that artists have cherished for centuries. Unlike digital reproductions, each lithograph is created by hand—drawn directly on stone or metal, then pressed onto paper. This process captures the artist’s gesture, texture, and energy in a way that feels alive.

Come see lithographs created over the last decade by dozens of talented artists and printed by Master Printer Vladimir Schuster at our upcoming show:

🖼 Funk & Schuster Exhibition
📍 Rugosa Gallery, Eastham, MA
📅 Friday, August 22
⏰ 5:30 – 9:00 PM

Experience the textures, details, and stories that make printmaking magic ✨ 🌸
