 “May the Wind be Always at Your Back”  (Woodcut)

As I was reflecting on an exhilarating day x-c skiing in Colorado, I recalled the biting wind as we headed toward the car.  We were so lucky to have had the wind at our backs half the time.

During the last week of January 2010 I designed this image, transferred it to a piece of pine wood, carved the wood, and printed the beginning of a paper edition on fine printing paper.  The entire process of making this print is documented online in a 6 min. video by videographer, Ken Koons of Ken Koons Instruments.   Go to the following website to see the how this image came about from start to finish, and learn about woodcut printing at the same time.  Share it with your friends.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2hguBvmZb4
