Nature inspires my artwork. For the art challenge at The Village Gallery of Art, I thought of my garden with each changing season. I like to create by adding layers of collage papers, ink, line and paint. The layers add mystery and texture to each piece. I thought you'd like to see the layers one step at a time. The first layer is collaged paper-
The second layer is a painted wash. Then, I added a stenciled floral design and a dark strip to tie the four pieces together-
Another painted white wash-
A free form splash of acrylic ink-
My favorite part of creating is seeing how each layer adds to the piece. The next post will show the last layer of collage, line and paint- the finished product. Yesterday, I took my canvases to the gallery. Next Sunday, all the artists' work will be hung and the show opens May 7th. One-hundred artists participated in the challenge this year.
