Prints in basic colors.

Pine board and lath frame.

Recent breakthroughs include a new frame style: slab of wood painted black, print glued to the board. Lathing frame butted at top and bottom.

Also, Insty Prints converted the black ink to prints using colored lines: got versions of this print in red, blue, green and yellow.

I like it and consider it progress. The ink change was provoked by a change in the kitchen. "Creole Riders" and "The Interlocutor" came down and in their places are two of Talbot's still lifes, a yoncopin on table and bowl of red apples. I saw that black lines, no matter how sinuous, don't really reach the energy level that a room gets from a color display.

Printing with color ink is a way to move into the difficult world of hues.
