Working on New Desert Linoleum Block Prints

I’m working on a couple multicolor linocuts of desert landscapes. This one highlights a lot of desert plant patterns and details.

The image below was drawn directly on the 16”x22” linoleum block.

I came up with a geometric pattern for the sky and carved it with v-gouge tools.
