Art I'm Making: New Collages (January-February 2015)

Still trying to catch up with posting images of my most recent collage work, here are two recent pieces--Untitled Collage No. 87 (Santa Rosa) and Untitled Collage No. 88 (Santa Rosa). The first of these is nearly all in black and white--with just a little Prussian blue and a touch of red. The tiniest touch of color in just the right spot can transform a composition. It has the feel of a landscape, although entirely abstract in conception (acrylic on paper, acrylic monoprint, collage, 13.3 x 10.4cm, January 28, 2015).

Untitled Collage No. 88 (Santa Rosa) is a small, nearly square piece that uses a scrap of pastel-covered drawing paper I got from another artist (the rust-colored element) and incorporates a sliver of an engineering drawing.
