This one is called Scissors & Barkringing. This one is done on a painted background and the elements were cut out and glued. While I do enjoy doing some collage work digitally, I still really like to have all my collages materials strewn on my work table. I can pick and try different things right on the actual background. Guess I am old school in that I like having the collage elements in my hand. The older I get the more challenging the cutting gets with my X-acto. Not ready to give it up yet.
I think you know how much I like this piece and to have the original is still a total amazement to me. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteTerry! I love this piece! I LOVE purple. I think actual cut and paste pieces are my favorites.
ReplyDeleteHi Guys-
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comments. The guy in the picture is Ron's great great grandfather as a young man.
Ha! He looks like Ron! Except I didn't notice until you pointed it out. But there's definitely a family resemblance. Fun!
ReplyDeleteI was going say, before I got distracted by that little observation, that I so agree about doing real cut-and-paste. There is something very satisfying about the tactile experience that is certainly an integral part of art making. Even though it means I have to peel glue off my fingertips.
