Collage – Floral Avenue
This was painted on a piece of old file folder. I used acrylic paint and some water soluble crayons. I also used a little bit of blue India ink. There are various layers of paint thinned down with glaze medium. I stamped with a empty bath tissue roll into wet paint. I also stamped the broad black leaves with a a stamp carved from an eraser. The big orange flower was glued onto the piece. I suppose this is technically NOT a collage. This measures about eight by 10 inches. This photo could have been bigger but because it was scanned horizontally, I had to make it much smaller.

Love this picture. Can I have it? You need to bring a few to display at my office and then change them out ever so often. At least they could be shared and I would love it.
