Showcase 1
You know how a band can be performing and, at some point in a piece, each musician-with-instrument gets to solo briefly and be showcased? The sketches I posted yesterday are going to get a chance to stand in the spotlight similarly, each for its few moments of fame.
One detail to watch for: collage. In this series, I added two bits of collage to each image—one in the sky, one in the land (in all but one case), and all color-matched to where they landed. The sky pieces were torn from hand-painted collage paper that I created I don’t remember how long ago. The land pieces feature a word or two torn from magazine pages.

Simone, thank you for the nod of affirmation at my showcasing the individual ‘canvases’ up close and personal. I like having the enlarged images available in my blog (which is my personal art diary).
Yes, the tiny words are collaged into place—pulled from advertising print in a magazine. I first looked through my box of collage material for a color match and then pulled words that felt like a good ‘fit’ in one way or another
You’re a master, MaryAnn, and I’m happy to supply you with fodder!
