I love this so much.

I moved mountains today and feel so good about some quality work and lots of paper shredding in my attic. I will continue tomorrow. Hope you have a great weekend.

Thank you for posting this lovely picture. I had not heard of this artist before and will look out for more of his work.
Glad to hear you have been working successfully in your attic. It's such a satisfying feeling when you complete a task which has been put on the back burner for a while.
Beautiful woodcut!
So glad you've had a productive weekend, Rosemary. It always feels good to plow through paperwork at the beginning of a new year. Hope you catch a bit of R&R today.
Tasha T -- I added another of his woodblock prints to this post and more information you will find interesting. I still have more work to do in the attic but it doesn't feel like punishment any more.
xo, Rosemary
Pam -- It does feel good to start the new year with a clean slate in an organized attic. I still have a lot more work to do but I'm on my way. I added an UPDATE to this post with another woodblock print you will like. Have a great Sunday. xo, Rosemary
UPDATE: ANOTHER image has been added to this post plus more information about the artist. Enjoy. xo, Rosemary
I looked at them all. A lot to like about this artist!
JudyMac -- Sadly, this Philadelphia born artist was never popular in this country but was embraced abroad. I'm glad you like his work too. xo, Rosemary
Thank you for posting another woodblock print image, Rosemary. Such a talented artist who was unappreciated in his own country but revered abroad. Sadly, often the way .....
The phrase, "I moved mountains today" is so triumphant and inspiring, and I'm glad I stopped by to read it, so that I will have it handy for congratulating myself with at the end of today. <3
Tasha T -- Yes, that often happens. I'm glad his works are in major museums abroad and he's buried in the South of France. He can now be appreciated globally thanks to the internet. xo, Rosemary
Gretchen Joanna -- I grew up hearing that phrase and always say it when I have had a particularly productive day. I love that you describe it as triumphant and inspiring! I hope you will have many, many occasions to use it too. It says it all, doesn't it? xo, Rosemary
