Collages 6 & 7

I really like my collages from this week. I painted the backgrounds before I did them. I then chose papers from my collection that I thought complemented the paint. I ripped randomly and placed layers more deliberately thinking about shape and color. What do you think?

 




I'm always struggling with myself to believe what I do is valuable or meaningful... whether it's my work, my writing, my cooking, my art. I feel competent but not professional or special. I like the way this artist, photographer JoAnn Verurg, talks about when her work becomes something more than it's materials. Check it out.
