@AnnRanlett Great work Ann. Elegant. Quality craftsmanship.

(For the audience: Scratchboard is the healthy and inexpensive alternative to etching, plus it produces unique works instead of editions of prints. I used to collect mezzotints which I consider the ultimate 2D art form. But unfortunately these techniques are disappearing because they’re so time consuming, and worse, the translation of the human mind into line, light, and dark, and upon observation, back int individual perception, produces a different degree of resolution, contrast, and experience than photographic or digial imagery – which contains less ‘human information content’. And it’s that human content that separates art from design and decoration.)
