For this etching, I drew the wax hard ground drawing in Georgia, drawing from flowers my Mother had grown, using one of her vases. I drew it sitting at a picnic table beside Lake Sinclair. I later shipped the etching plate with the fragile wax drawing to California and did the acid work, repeating the grounding, drawing, etching in acid process numerous times. I did final work on the plate by engraving with burins. I printed it onto the finest quality etching paper, 100% rag, acid-free Rives BFK. For this hand-painted version, the plate was printed using green etching ink which I mixed using various colors. I then hand-painted the etching for hours using finest quality watercolors.
