I have the data back off my crashed drive. There were only teo I had not put up since I backed up. Tis is the first. Break! Maybe I was due for one. It was called that before everything broke.

A small note about numbering follows.
Earth Cross
Today when I returned to the previous one, it was nothing like I recalled it. So I had to do it again.

Tech note. What happened is that since the crash my picture reduction system is not quite right. I will need to go back and re-do quite a few. They looked a lot better on my screen – and not till studying the blog have I noticed the problem!
I have now redone them all. Whew. Even that earlier cross looks better.

The canvas is a form. The blog is a form. The limited edition print is a form. (for all the artificial limitation in the digital age) .
Form is a wondrous thing. The medium is the message.
