Two more with color blocks

I decided to add some texture or imagery to the areas of color in these, along with using leftover strips from previous collages. In "Coming Home Cows" I ghosted a cow onto the field of green and added a number stencil - evocative of number tags cows often wear in their ears. In "Golden Visitor" I overlaid a pine needle image on the green area and ghosted some of the circle pattern from the goldfinch photo on the brown rectangle.

Revisiting

I decided to revisit some traditional collage techniques and made these two 5x5 collages on 2"-thick cradled panels. I used old ledger paper in the background, overlaid that with images on tracing paper and added pencil circles, stamped numbers and acrylic paint.
