“I clearly remember why I titled this “Angel of August” because the stone litho was almost never completed. I had convinced my printers to stay open the first 2 weeks of August to squeeze in one more stone lithograph project. The print shop normally always closed at this time because the heat made printing almost impossible.
With high humidity and heat that could melt the grease litho crayons, it was a miracle that the stone litho was ever printed. So I changed my original title from “Sleeping Angel” to “Angel of August” because she helped us through that hot summer.” – Michael Parkes
