Three Elms Intaglio Print: Line Etching on Copper Plate, 4 in. by 4.25 in., 1975.

In the summer of 1965, and each summer until 1975, Jack Beal and Sondra Freckelton lived on Black Lake in the town of Rossie in upstate NY. While on a hike one summer day, the three elms in this print offered Jack and Dana Van Horn protection from a charging bull. The next day Jack made a drawing of those trees and later processed and proofed this etching. A proof of the plate was exhibited in 1977 and is illustrated in a catalog for a traveling exhibition organized by the Madison Art Center in Wisconsin.
