The Burger 16" x 16"

This painting started as a demonstration for my collage workshop -- to show the participants how I started doing a torn paper collage using magazines and other papers. I ended up putting the final touches on it at home. I think others found this a fun piece -- there were suggestions for naming it but at the end of the day I think The Burger says it best.

Three Bottles

Acrylic Collage 30" x 30"

I have used a lot of my made papers and some commercial paper in this painting staying primarily with a neutral color scheme. This is one of those paintings that just flowed - once I started i kept on going till it was almost completed. I let it sit for a day or so and then made some corrections to a troublesome area in one of the corners. At this point I think it is done and there is something about it that I find appealing -- and I hope others do as well.
