My latest work is based on Psalm 90.  My goal is to do 8 prints, with an edition of 5 each, starting out with many screen printed colors.  On top of this I added hand drawn colors using china markers, colored pencils and cattle markers.  Then more screen printing...to create a lot depth and layering.  These prints are non-typical for me because I am using more bright colors along with the black and gold graphic images.  At this point I am half way finished, with 4 of the prints completed.

Psalm 90 focuses on death as a judgment upon sin, but it also points to the Lord as the one who saves us from eternal death. We daily observe death all around us, death is inevitable, and because of that we should make the most of our time of grace.
