This was first a graphite image completed in 1982 and that I always
wanted to colorize when the computer power became available. Finally
in the late eighties, a computerized color-seperation system--terribly
high-end and expensive--was being used by ahead-of-the-curve corporate
and industrial printers in New York. After several trials and about
$2000 spent I never achieved quite the results I wanted.
Now, some 20 years later, when the Giclee printing technology came on line
and I could duplicate the image on watercolor paper (something I never could
have done with any normal lithographic process), I decided to hand-colorized
the image myself using dry pigments and Prismacolor. Finally. I got the image
I wanted.
