I am the host for this months local Art Talk Group meeting and I chose the word Winter for our theme.
In trying to think of what I'd like to paint or create I knew I didn't want to do a typical winter oil painting of our normal rainy winter, but thought more along the lines of something more comforting ... like a nice Hot Cup O' Cocoa, with whipped cream on top.

I'm not sure I will always do a collage for our theme word but I certainly did enjoy working, once again, in collage.

The 9" x 9" x 3/8" board I was working on was already primed for an oil painting but I don't think it would have needed to be primed, it was just something I had laying around waiting to be used.
The above photo shows how it looks from an angle showing the small collage wrapped area.

Above a more detailed shot of the scene. Don't ya love the reflected handle of the cup ... diamonds no less.
Very creative and I do love the "reflected" handle of diamonds. Nice to have a challenge and Winter is a perfect theme. I always love to see all the different interpretations of the theme.
ReplyDeleteIt really does sparkle! More fun than a jigsaw puzzle.

ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about a torn paper piece now you've inspired me more. Thank you!
Love this little collage! And the reflection is just perfect!!
ReplyDeleteSuper nice collage. The handle reflection is such fun!
ReplyDeleteNancy, wonderful ! This is a great exercise working with a different medium. Makes me want to try it.
