About woodblocks
Don's sense of visual beauty extends to the texture and surface of the block as it does to the print. The blocks are cut skillfully and with great care. In cutting the block, drawing and sculpting come together. The finished woodblock and how it looks is very important to the artist. Most woodblocks are for sale. We will sell a woodblock with the purchase of the corresponding reduction woodcut print. Please contact us for availability and pricing.
