Cabana retailer Veranda linoleum print by Coco Berkman from "Dogs on Sofas" series

"Cabana Veranda" is a hand pulled black and white linoleum print depicting a large dog sprawled out on a sofa that's situated on an outdoor porch, a "veranda" if you will, seal heads popping up out of the ocean in the background. "Cabana Veranda" is part of my linocut series, "Dogs on Sofas".
A few years ago now, I decided to create a theme for myself in order to have an excuse to draw and carve and then print some images that brought me great joy.
I was a seamstress for 25 years and made many a slipcover for many a sofa in many different spaces. Six years ago I adopted retailer a dog for the first time in my [long] life and the melding of dogs and sofas and linoleum printmaking resulted in this series of prints. Hope you enjoy!
"Cabana Veranda" is a 10" X 11.5" image printed with crayon black oil based ink onto an 16" X 16" sheet of Arches 88 paper.
It is signed by me and will ship flat in a rigid sanitary and protective folder.
