July “Stone House”

July’s print, Stone house, is a detail from a larger etching that is the first in a new series of  Palestinian landscapes. This beautiful, abandoned old stone house, in the village of Awarta, is framed by a furiously blooming almond tree and bright blue sky.  I was drawn to the contrast of the vibrant natural world to ruins of the old house and the creaminess of the stone against the bright pink of the almond flowers. I may add another plate to the final image, a proof is below.
