Their bags are packed ...



Hard to believe it's been 6 months since I made a Grand Tour collage. Well, the ladies are touring again as I make new collages for Milford's 7th annual Art Affaire on Saturday Sept. 22. As intrepid as ever, the gang is traveling under the sea (above - early working version); performing on stage; trying their hands at fly fishing; and there may be some time traveling, too. You will be seeing more soon but, for now, it's off to the studio ...

9.13: Update: The almost-finished collage with significant changes. I'll add more shadowing, seal it 
and whisk it off to the framers ...

The Grand Tour: Submerged (SOLD)
mixed-media collage: antique, hand-painted fashion plate (Peterson's Magazine, Sept. 1880) and illustrations (Popular Educator, circa 1880; Art Forms in Nature, 1899); vintage illustrations (Handbook for Shell Collectors,1948; Harter's Picture Archive, 1974); recycled wrapping paper; acrylic, watercolor, dye, marker, ink. 14" x 11" on acid free mat board.
