Kind Hearted Woman Blues part 2

 Today work continued on the latest block.  Brought the smaller book of Jazz/Blues discs, and from this book decided to go with some John Coltrane today.  Started with the legendary A Love Supreme album, at least my home burned copy of it.  I had finished most of the two main figures last time, so today I started with what remained of the bed.  When the disc I had was finished (and it is a short album) I went on to the other Coltrane that I have access to- My Favorite Things, and you can read my write up of both classic albums back on March of 2023, surprisingly, my only other time of listening to both albums in the Studio.  This was probably about the time I worked on more of the wall, big shadows there and cracks, some of which was copied from another print in this series.  Not so much laziness, as trying to be consistent with a similar room, and probably the kind of room Johnson knew well.  The state of my block at the end of the session can be seen below:

Of course all of this line work I left there today, kind of a cross contour thing, is dependent on how it looks inked up.  If I don't like how the first proof looks, I will do some more cutting to make it work better.  But for now what is there looks fine.  I think that's all for the first state of the image area. Next time I'll tackle the rest of those lyrics.  It's coming along quickly, and so I don't expect more than two more cutting sessions.
