This print image demanded my reprinting it, getting it right. The idea behind the first go of it had to do with attempting to add mixed and blended colors to the background, in a way, mimicking a version of Impressionism. It's possible, if done right, and if the printer actually sees the fuller color spectrum, and has the taste and sense to do said mixing and blending in such a way as to leave the printed image pleasant for viewing. I didn't like it.
The second printing was approached in a different way, use of different colors, in a different order. This one is what I had previsualized it to be, sans the Impressionism part. Some day. This was a ten color run, with better textural detail. The first print was destroyed. There can only be one of each image.
