Finally Back in the Studio
The collage paintings below are around 12" x 12" and are done on wood panels. I photographed them outdoors, and I admit the images are terrible. I don't know if it was the photographer (me) or the camera. The colors just didn't seem to take. It was about two in the afternoon, and the sun was coming over my shoulder, facing the paintings which were on an easel. I'm not sure what happened, but I am pleased with the small collages themselves (not the photos). I used acrylic paints, Ranger alcohol inks, gesso, pieces of silk; painted and printed papers and graphite marking pencils. The collages are all finished with a semi-gloss acrylic coating that contains UV protection. The one with the button detail is titled "Tatters" and contains collaged material consisting of painted paper glued to cloth and then machine stitched. The wood panels were quite thin, so for hanging I glued a wood strip to the back which accommodated screw eyes and picture wire.
