A New Collage

Sorry folks, I'm slow to post these days.  With a large list of things to do, and many distractions...pool building, visitors, celebrations...the blog has been taking last place.  However, time in the studio is still a priority and I've not only been painting up a storm, I've been collaging.


WEATHERING  20 x 30 cm - acrylics, teabags, assorted papers, rusted tin, burnt text.

I'm not entirely sure that I'm happy with this...it's a little busy.

To see the International Collage Exchange exhibition, which is now online, click HERE

This is my third year of joining ICE and I'm honoured to be a part of the annual project.

It's definitely worth a look for everyone interested in collage...or any art.

    You seem to have been pretty busy too, I tend to get lost when I try to do collages.

    I'm loving the overall warm colors, the texture, and the contrast between straight, linear elements and more rounded, organic ones. I find my eye tends to linger on the right side of the collage, which makes me think that this piece might also work as a square, cropping in from the left. I like what you did here, and aspire to your talent.

    Beautiful. I'm starting to get into collage a bit and taking a class. There's so much more to it than meets the eye :) I'm off to follow your link.

    I actually like this collage. I like it because it doesn't seem helter skelter to me, but follows more of a grid pattern. And of course, I love the rust.

    BTW, your studio looks like it is perfect for you, and you have SO many of those wonderful plastic containers, too.
