New Collage

The Gift - 11X14 - 2013 - Paper on Board

Last night after dinner I claimed that I hadn't been in the studio for months. I realised today that this isn't true- I did get in once, briefly, this summer ("She is Risen" ... a blog post of August 5th). And then I got in there again this weekend, and the result is the collage above. I keep wanting to paint, and I keep doing collage.

Below is the collage part-way through... all the pieces basically where they will end up going, but there is a lot of tinkering at this point. I don't think it's caprice (please see last blog post)- there's too much careful consideration going on. But it might very well be caprice at work when I'm choosing the bits I'm going to use. That's the fun part.
