A Little Departure....

6"x 6" collage

wood cradled panel

Last year I spent some time doing small format collages (a prelude I guess to the 6"x 6" oils I've been doing lately).  I will probably return to making more of these.  It's a nice blend of photography, hand painting the papers, textures and interesting materials.  This has that little band of copper at the base, and since I enjoy creating jewellery, I get to use my metalsmithing skills too.

Studio Cleanup

I've been taking it sooo slow in this week between Christmas and New Year's but thought it was time to start sorting through
my studio and decided to list this painting on my Etsy shop. See the very first link at the right to get there and view the description and purchase details. It was a fun little painting meant to explore the capabilities of a texture medium and how to
use it.
I'll post a few more small scale paintings in the near future.....
