Artist comment: I don't know how many of this image--probably
not more than half a dozen since it was one of the most ambitious prints I created, and all of them were
sold about the time I graduated from Central Washington State College. The
Calhouns were among others in my family who paid close attention to my progress
in college. That college was small, with a
lot of good interaction among faculty from different departments, and support
for the art students--both in exchanging ideas and purchase of the artists'
works-- came from everywhere on campus. This print is part of the music series that I did in my years at
Central. You can get more information at ritchie@emeralda.com.
