A Rainy Weekend = Art
May 14, 2012
Over the weekend we got some very welcome rain, and in the process I had to change my schedule from outdoors to indoors.
Collage 032 – Collage with Hand Painted and Handmade Papers, 10×8″
And guess what that means! It means I get to do art. Saturday morning I brought out an assortment of papers, glue, and paint to the back porch where my studio table is still set up from a recent family gathering, and sat there having a glorious time listening to the birds and creating collages.
For this series, I decided to do some abstract landscapes. And this is where the hand painted and handmade papers become a very important palette, because of the rich variety of textures and colors available.
I will be sharing more of these in future posts.

This fuzzy paper …is so wonderful in your collage. Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
These papers work just so well for an abstract landscape with the beautiful range of textures and colours. I too wish you more rainy days. I’ve just returned from a readers and writers festival in Auckland where I was also privileged to see their wonderful art exhibition “From Degas to Dali”. Our art gallery is closed indefinitely so it was such a treat.
I love these landscape abstract so differrent from your abstract ones and love the deer photos
