Dusk


I was putting the new studio back together after painting two walls and, of course, that called for a major reorganization. While sorting things, I took a look at pieces in a box labeled "finished collages." Well, they seemed finished when I made them but soon afterward, I became less enthusiastic about many of them. That's why they were in the box.

But looking at this one with fresh eyes, I decided it is finished. It began as an exercise in composition and use of a color I'm not fond of - yeah, pink. Once the gel transfer of the tree was added, the piece took on new life as a landscape with a rosy glow reminiscent of dusk. 4.4" x 4.4" on acid-free watercolor paper. {SOLD}
