Serigraphs, you might say are “built”. Each color is individually laid down; one at a time, on the paper or canvas just as was done when the original was painted. This may require 80, 90, 100 or more colors to complete, each individually squeezed through a silk screen template onto the waiting paper. The result is an entirely hand made graphic image that has many of the qualities of an original painting.
Each serigraph edition has a separate artist's proof edition. The size of this edition is 10% of the regular edition. Artist's proofs are a long standing tradition in printmaking. Originally this was how artists derived part of their compensation for their art, as the primary edition was owned and sold by the publisher. From a print collector's view, an artist's proof is highly desirable as it is considered to be directly from the artist's personal collection. There is no difference in the quality between the artist's proof and the regular edition, and each is designated specifically as an artist's proof and is personally signed, numbered and titled by Will Moses.

Fox and Geese is a pleasant and cheery old time quilt pattern. However, in the animal kingdom, incompatible personalities are certain to make the feathers fly.

Back in the old days news and gossip were pretty much by word of mouth. So when folks encountered one another as these fellows have done, it was only natural to stop and have a gab session for a while. Who brings the coffee and doughnuts?

Mama’s good cooking had the love baked right into it. You can see why.

Graduation day is always a milestone and I can imagine what a big day it was for this old country school, especially with the photographer on hand to immortalize the day.

The idea of a little log cabin in the woods with snow falling and black bears pillaging the bee hives appeals to my Nordic disposition.

In the old days if you wanted a cold drink in July you had better hope that somebody made the ice in January. I really like the mellow color tones of winter, the light is different and to me, quite pleasing. The sheep in the foreground are just about lost in the dusky light of this winter day.

This band of adventurers had better get a move on or their next chicken dinner will be courtesy of the sheriff!

What could be more interesting than to look out of your window on a crisp winter morning and to see a moose pawing in the yard? It sort of puts bird watching in a different perspective.

Before Wal-Mart there used to be small towns with vibrant town centers where people knew their neighbors and on market day, folks would even come together and buy or trade things made right here in this country. Hand made products like fresh preserves, produce, quilts and furniture were available, even food on the hoof. Sometimes it's hard to see all the progress we have made.
