I guessed right. His sketch on his site was indeed Walden's Pond. This is beautiful! :clap: :drool:

I'll be able to figure out what my friends & I bought later today. All the prints are @ my house right now & I tho't it would be cool to lay them all out & snap off some pics & load 'em over @ G88 RR thread. As far as the Variants, the Cream colored paper is a run of 4, there's also a Yellow Sky run of 10. There may be more.

I find myself just staring into this print. These branches are amazing, hard to imagine they're hand drawn. And the reflection on the water looks like they could be that of forecast buildings where the forest is now. I'm not sure if that's Richard's intent or not but it makes me ponder a simple life. Regardless, the brightness of the water, on the water is just another place to focus upon, amazing blends. Thoreau looks perfect holding his book in his right hand. This print is rich, a definite framer.

I have a hard time believing that this is a screen print. Incredible!

So, are those shoreline reflections in the water of a city skyline...or am I making that up in my head?

no, it's a skyline. there was also an attempt to build condos on Walden about 10 years ago.

They sure are. Not sure if you read the book but it actually makes pretty good sense

I remember reading a few excerpts from it back in high school...but pretty sure I've never read the entire thing. Would probably be a perfect summer read!
