Does anyone do collages?

11. Yes, two.

They were "found object" collages. .

I scoured the streets of Philadelphia looking for interesting trash. Probably looked liked a crazy lady. My more successful one had a piece of a red and white balloon in it, small part of a straw broom, old newspaper, broken pieces of brown beer glass. a little piece of carved and glazed wood. Then I tied it together with some cloth from an old dress and a little paint. Believe it or not I sold it.

The other painting I put over my mantle and got tired of looking at it and ended up throwing it out. There really was nothing good to say about it. At heart I am a realist. These two paintings were extremely abstract. I think I just wanted to try something different.
