Christmas Rose This image of heliboris, blooming in its season (winter) is about opposites: opportunity in adversity, an insulating blanket of snow made of ice, iridescent green turning to coppery red when viewed from certain angles, warm Kitakata paper and cool, gray cotton. Because this pattern of reversals is not uncommon to the difficult yet rich and lasting aspects of life, I relate to this peculiar and beautiful winter-blooming flower.

CLASSIC CRAYON DRAWN ON STONE IS PRINTED IN DARK GREEN ON TOP Edition of 40 is sold out. Paper and image size: 26.25 H x 19.25 W inches Seven (or fewer) proofs remain for $510 each unframed.
