4″X6″ collage (mixed papers, found metal objects, pen, colored pencil)
While cleaning/rearranging my studio, I came across some long-forgotten bins of started collages, collage papers, and found items. As I sorted through these treasures, I was overcome with the desire to start a new series of small (matted to 8X10) collages.

34 Starts
This past week-end I taught a 2-day workshop about my process of making (building) acrylic/collage paintings. As my process is to work layer upon layer, which, of course requires drying (and thinking) time, it doesn’t work to demonstrate making a painting straight through, start to finish. It was necessary to both bring a variety of starts and demonstrate starts, second steps, third steps, etc. etc.
So now I have 34 new small (12″X12″ and 11″X14″) paintings going, all in various stages of completion. I could hardly wait to get my workshop tubs unloaded so I could start painting.
