Re: Keith's gum prints on wood panels

[Diana Bloomfield <dhbloomfield@bellsouth.net>]

I have to agree with Katharine here.  These are really intriguing and  
so beautiful, Keith-- and, as someone else mentioned a while back, I  
also like and prefer the sort of crackling, somewhat aged, look when  
printed on the wood.  Agree, too, about the exhibition plus -- no  
need for matting, glazing, or framing, if you don't want that.   
Really nice work and subject matter.
