Immigration Outcome

My favorite painting moment today comes when I've decided this postcard is complete. I use my paper trimmer to take care of a few rough spots on the edges, after which I pick up the resulting scraps.

Done.


Or not …

I notice a particular snippet in my hand—my eyes widen with delight.

Back to the glue pot!

Love the intrepid migrant that leaves everything it knows from where it used to live on the lower left border and contributes an unexpected pop of pattern in its new adopted home.

Friable Cliffs of Sandstone! Love! This piece is both peaceful and edgy. How did you do that? :)
