Mixed Media and Collage

I have continued with experimenting with abstracted figures and here are the last 4 paintings I have done. Three of the four paintings below were done on cradled wood panel which is working better for the collage. On the painting Butterfly girl I have finished the painting with a poured self levelling gel and a cold wax application. I recently went to a workshop in Seattle at Lynn Hanson gallery given by Pamela Beer. It was fun and finishing a painting this way was one of the things I learned.

As I look at the paintings below I was suddenly aware of my colour choices -- seem to be in a red and blue phase.
