The first one, "Big Roll, One", is printed at 8 1/2" X 11", and the second, "Blue Streak", at an impressive 12" X 18". They're both from the Copper Dreams series. The final piece, "Beach Glass - Sunrise, Coral" is 12" x 16" is from the Beach Glass series, which has made only a few blog appearances so far. It is a HUGE series, so it's taking a very long time to process.

It's so gratifying to see how well the prints turned out at these sizes, especially the Beach Glass, which has a lot of subtleties that that tend not to come through as well at smaller sizes. It's also tricky to make the prints, because the images have always been seen on a bright screen as a light source - light and bright. As prints, they become a reflective surface - duller and darker. It's usually a long process, with many tweaks and trial proofs, to produce an acceptable print. I'll talk a lot more about the issues of producing prints in a future post.
