bits of paper like de Kooning used splotches of paint. This was the result. I'm calling it "Offering" since the Egyptian frieze fragment shows men presenting offerings of grain and animals. The green paper at the bottom I thought gave a feel of the Nile valley with lush vegetation. I chose the other colors based on what had been used to paint the frieze.

Exploring
We recently went to the Saint Louis Museum of Art to see the show "Action/Abstraction: Pollock, de Kooning and American Art, 1940-1976." I decided to create something with a more abstract feel -- using bits of paper like de Kooning used splotches of paint. This was the result. I'm calling it "Offering" since the Egyptian frieze fragment shows men presenting offerings of grain and animals. The green paper at the bottom I thought gave a feel of the Nile valley with lush vegetation. I chose the other colors based on what had been used to paint the frieze.
