Description

Gordon Mortensen printed this 1997 reduction color woodcut landscape using 32 colors and 28 separate press runs. The image is of Minnesota fields in winter, covered with a light snow. In the distance the red sumac gives a touch of brilliance to the landscape.

Staghorn sumac is a large treelike shrub native to the eastern edge of Minnesota, Wisconsin and much of southeastern Canada. Tall with an umbrella habit as it matures, stagorn or cutleaf sumac is a great choice for larger, wilder landscapes. Birds love it and the fruits can be used for everything from dyes to lemonade.
