This image was inspired by the many images of trees that I’ve seen. Like many artists, I find trees reminiscent of the human figure. I couldn’t resist printing my plate on gold paper that I purchased at the studio shop at the MFA School of Art. My print won 1st prize in the Professional Printmaking category in the 2019 Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society Show & Fair (West Tisbury MA). The ribbon is with the print.
