My daily painting today is not a painting at all, it is a lino block print instead. I started this theme several years ago when I was still in college (no I will not tell how long ago that was lol). This is similar to the idea I had then. My intention was to keep this primitive. If you are not familiar with lino block prints, it is simply a linoleum block that is hand carved and then a print is "pulled" from that carving. Most of the time it requires several steps of carving to complete a print. This one was kept fairly simple by using only two colors of ink.
