Vase and Jug
Feels like an Italian country patio. Not fancy. Some of the rustic appeal (I think) comes from the tears and tweaks in the paper.

Just "tomato." But the knife, mug and bottle deserve attention too, don't they? This would look great in a kitchen.

Grapes
I think this is at a vineyard that's off the beaten track. A real vacation find!
(Special secret: Do you see my portraits with the same colors as these still lifes?Jamie's hair is the same paper/same cut as the wall behind the grapes!)

Wine and Lemons
Simple and eye-catching. I like the shift on the primary color scheme. The bottle is greener than most photos show it.

Each 6x9 inches on heavy paper and comes matted for a 9x12 frame.
Because of the mix of matte and gloss medium in the original collages (cut up to make the grids) I am not sealing these. Expect some curled edges and keep these framed. I have applied a light fixative.
Mindful Series
Strange yellows and blues and a happy pink land in a rather grim place. A range of emotions play out in this series, from sweet abstract flowers to a gritty, graffiti-inspired landscapes.

I Wanted to Say
Highly textured, moody flowers. Paper collage on hardboard. Poppies, roses and hydrangeas get dirty with thick black acrylic paint, used as the collage adhesive. The effect is depth and maybe danger. Yellow and yellow-green still capture the light.

Potting Shed
This collage started out as an acrylic abstract painting on canvas. It's an experiment and it is fun to see how the canvas adapts to collage. It is bright and sunny, if a little washed-out but that is part of its story.
