A third print of the Caribbean Islands. The scenery was amazing, from every direction and angle. It were the sunsets that were very spectacular. In interpreting these sunsets, it is easy to overdo the coloring. One of the more difficult parts of gum printing, is learning not to attempt to add everything in one image, and, when to stop printing.
This print was treated the same ias the "Shillelagh and Hat" print, same sizing, leaving the image to 'fall into the paper' effect. Sometimes, not a bad thing. the image is definitely 'softer' than sitting right on the surface. Sometimes, I like that effect. I kept the sky fairly simple, with three color overlays to warm the sky, after sunset.
