ten minute break

Title: TEN MINUTE BREAK

Size: 10x10

When I paint on a flat surface, I like to cover the surface with newspaper. One reason is that I like to paint beyond the edges of my work, the second reason is that I can use the newspaper to clean off my brushes and scrappers. The papers are dried and saved for later use in collages and other works.

I used one such paper to do a quick drawing demonstration and later finished it in watercolor.

roots

After teaching Altered Paper Surfaces in Colorado, I found a very nice piece of paper that had a wonderful surface texture with what reminded me of roots. Thus, the title of this mini collage. Only 3.5 x 5 this very simple collage delivers a lot of punch, and reminds me of the Rocky Mountains.

I will be teaching a workshop in Fort Collins in March 2009. Contact artwithmoxie@cox.net for more information. If you would like to see more mini collages, click HERE.
