Tokyo, Japan, 1974...Daryl was given the opportunity that would forge her forever path in life...an apprenticeship with master printmaker, Hodaka Yoshida. After months of painstaking patience and instruction, Daryl was finally able to carve and print her very first woodcut, pictured here.... Due to her limited budget and resources at the time, she had to carve all her images for this first print, "shinga", on one small, paper thin piece of plywood... #woodcut #woodblockprint #woodblock #darylhoward #darylhowardart #printmaking #japanesewoodblockprint #hodakayoshida #masterprinter #masterprintmaker (at Daryl Howard Art: Japanese Woodblock Prints and Collage)

The floating life … the floating world. It moves up and down this Yangtze. It carries centuries of life. This is only part of a small moment … held by the power of these three gorges.

Printed and dried... now, time to add a touch of silver to these blue beauties... #bluebonnets #texaswildflowers #printmaking #printmaker #woodblockprinting #woodblockprint #japanesewoodblockprint #darylhoward #darylhowardart #art #flowers #wildflowers #blue #sterlingsilver

Sketched in New Mexico near El Capitan … as the sun was setting … I was topping a ridge that allowed me to be on top of the world.

Under the jungle canopy… on the equator in Chiang Mai, Thailand… orchids breath… in the morning mist.

Standing on small wooden plers …fishermen patiently dip their square netting over and over. Their day slowly passing.
