Twighlight of Life


I named this Twilight of Life after I found this small clipping in my pile of newsprint. I left it upside down on purpose, because it just looked better that way. This is collage on cut canvas, cuttings of tissue paper with blotted oil paints from another painting, newsprint with left over paints spread on them, and the clipping.  Background painted in oils and after the collaged pieces were pasted more oils added with palette knife and rags. Kinda happy with this!

A monster has invaded my sketch. I don't usually associate abstracts with subjects but sometimes they come out without you're asking.

Day 10 January 30 x 30 2017

Another mixed crayon sketch on a piece of brown paper with gesso.  The gesso gives a nice texture background to the crayons. Used a bit of water on the water soluble crayon, almost a dry brush. This did not effect the wax crayon marks.
