Field Collage

Pasted newsprint on heavy cardboard. Beginning the " He Walked Through the Fields " concept that Heleni suggested as a topic for paintings.  Heleni explained that it could be based on the novel by Moshe Shamir, portrait of Moshe Shamir or any aspect of walking through fields or just fields.. Open to all and any interpretation....

In this piece I was trying to go "out of the box and my comfort zone"... Here I used torn pieces of newsprint and pasted on heavy cardboard 50 x 70 cm. I then added color using oil pastels and oil/wax crayons.

Turned more into a mountain landscape than a field landscape 

 Think this could be an interesting avenue to to continue...

Thanks.... Think I have caught up on all the projects so far... Have a board but am thinking of cutting it up into small formats to maybe enter this January 30 project...
