Moonlight Lead by William H. Hays is 8-color, 9x12 linoleum block, linocut print from a limited edition of 100.
A bright moonlit sky illuminates a frozen lake creating an ethereal path atop the water. This scene looks like it was pulled straight from a fantasy novel. The white moon beautifully contrasts on the dark surface of the water creating a picturesque reflection atop the lake. The trees can be seen bending under the weight of the snow they carry, a very realistic portrayal.
“The inspiration for the imagery was the view from my home on the Connecticut River in Vermont. I can see that there are also influences from my years living in Alaska. This print is a refinement and recombination of all those elements, all based on a charcoal drawing I did in 1998." ~ William Hays
This archival print in the edition is an original work of art and there are slight variations from one print to the next.
