Thirty in Thirty Day 24 Landscape Fantasy

I am coming to the end of the start cutouts from my old collages.  This is crayons on a newsprint collage that also had crayons on it.  Had no idea what to call it ... so named it Landscape Fantasy. I really had fun doing these, wish I had more to cut up.

Thirty in Thirty Day 23 Open Sky

Another cutout from a previous collage on cardboard.  Wanted to work on the sky a bit more with my crayons but they disturbed the thin layer of newsprint.  I may tweak with oil and cold wax at a later date.

Thirty in Thirty Day 22 Creeping Creatures

What a crazy day yesterday. By the time I wanted to photograph some ready paintings it was too dark. I like to schedule the day before.

This is another painting or rather sketch on a cutout from a previous collage.  I used my favorite Caren d'Ache neocolor I wax oil crayons.  The are harder than regular oil pastels and I love them.  Seems that all sorts of creatures are creeping in my works. Where did they come from?
