There are so many of Phil Greenwood's images that I am drawn to, it is hard to pick just one. His luscious colors sing and merge into a cohesive landscape. He does the impossible and prints just two or three color plates wet, so that the colors unfold with creative, complex relationships. Subtle tonal variations are accomplished by his expert handling of aquatint and etching. Taking inspiration from his surrounding English landscapes, Greenwood makes scenes look new and exciting yet familiar all at once, like the nightly moon shining fresh patterns onto the meadow below.
