“I look for city and nature views that appeal to me then change & simplify the composition until I feel that I can express it as a woodcut or linocut.”  Trueblood selects colors to create a mood or weather condition.  With each new color an additional block is added. . . I add a third or fourth block if I feel it is necessary, but many times I use two blocks.”
