Thanks for posting the link.
I can relate to the subject matter (desert scenic), and appreciate how well
the gum dichromate process works for this type of subject. I began printing
in gum because of my frustration with Cibachrome material. My first images
in gum were canyon scenes and indian rock art. Using the gum process with
pigments such as burnt sienna, raw umber, indian red, etc... really brought
my work to life. It's a welcome alternative to Cibachrome and conventional
color materials.
Mr. Melvin's work appears to be of exceptionally fine quality, if the image
on the website is any indication. I'd love to see the actual prints.
Best regards,
Dave in Big Wonderful Wyoming
