Mt. Hood Cherry Trees - photogravure print - The Weekly Edition
Each year folks like me who live in Portland OR look forward to the " Hood strawberries ". II tend to like rituals like this and I never get over how wonderful and different these little red strawberries taste, One year I drove up on the backside of Mt. Hood and made some pictures of the cherry orchards with my 8x10 camera. Drawn to the lines of trees swirling up the hillside this particular negative was my favorite from the day. This hand-pulled photogravure print is made with Charbonnel carbon black and raw sepia ink, with a dash of Charbonnel sanguine ink on Hahnemühle copperplate paper. I printed an edition of 7 numbered prints and 2 A/P prints. Hand-pulled print by Ray Bidegain Limited edition of 7 5.0 x 8.0 on an 11x15 sheet. Signed numbered and dated by the artist on the lower front.
