"Brooklyn Bridge transposed". Image size 13 1/4" by 20 1/4"

So I have been working on a woodblock print of the Brooklyn Bridge. Its been a real bear to get done. All those suspension bridge cables.... UGH.

Here is the final proof.
Second proof of "Brooklyn Bridge transposed". Image size 13 1/4" by 20 1/4"
This is the first proof, I added some KwickWood to the suspension area that was blank on the left of the print and added some lines. It really bothered me.

Paper removed with water and scrub brush, and dried with heater. Now you can see why I use gesso on the MDF. Very easy to see the carved lines and were I will have to do some more work.

Done carving. Remove paper and proof. 



Been working on for two days on "Brooklyn Bridge transposed". Image size 13 1/4" by 20 1/4". I'm now down to the eye and hand numbing bits where all the wires come together.
