First Blue Wheels
Sweet, simple, and full of nostalgia—First Blue Wheels by Laurie McIntosh captures the wonder of childhood in just two colors and a single moment. A powder-blue tricycle anchors the bottom of the image, while a bright orange balloon floats skyward on a long, delicate string. Printed on soft cotton paper, this original linocut feels both airy and grounded, like a memory you can frame.
A perfect piece for nurseries, playrooms, or anyone who remembers their very first ride..
Laurie creates her linocut reductions using a bold, hands-on process that mirrors her dynamic approach to art. Working from a single block of linoleum, she carves the image in reverse, inks it with one color, and prints it onto paper. Then she carves away more of the block, inks again in a new color, and prints the next layer—building the image step by step. Because each layer removes part of the block permanently, there's no going back—an all-in method often called “suicide printing.” It’s fearless, layered, and full of energy—just like Laurie’s work.
