A friend of mine, fiddler Brandon Little, once lived in this little house west of Keene, New Hampshire. He asked me to engrave a picture of it. Brandon owned the old tractor and flat-bed truck and the only source of heat in the house was cordwood. The front door is tucked in behind the tall bush. Size of the woodblock is 4.8” x 4”.

New England Homestead
When you purchase New England Homestead by Randy Miller, you are acquiring an original work of art, engraved by hand in wood and printed by the artist. It is not a photographic or digital reproduction.
A note about Editions: The prints are not strictly limited in number. This is due to the durability of boxwood, my choice of wood for engraving. It is an extremely dense hardwood capable of yielding thousands of prints with no noticeable deterioration. I therefore number my prints in Editions of 200, succeeding editions denoted by a Roman numeral “II”, “III” and so on. This allows for continued functional use of an increasingly scarce wood.
The artist uses black, oil-based ink on smooth, Welsh cream-colored paper called basingwerk. The print is signed, titled and numbered in pencil by the artist and enclosed in a clear plastic sleeve. The print is suitable for matting and framing. Shipped via USPS Priority Mail.
