This is a small mixed-media-plus-collage landscape. I hand-crafted the frame from weathered Japanese redwood \u2014 recycled slats from a fatally damaged patio chair I could not bring myself to throw away. The work currently hangs in the Mahan Gallery at Boyle County Public Library, as part of a \u201cSummerScape\u201d exhibition, which lasts until August 29th. One of the most extraordinary things about having our home studio in downtown Danville is having that library right across the street. <\/p>\n

I began with scrunched-up paper and scraps of vellum, applying numerous layers of a thin \u201cacrylic milk,\u201d tinting it with various drops of concentrated liquid watercolors, and adding white tissue along the way to evolve the clouds. The process is a slow manifestation and allows for multiple mid-course decisions as the translucency is gradually built. To be honest, I have not created many artworks using this technique. Yesterday I added this to The Collage Miniaturist<\/a>, but I think it belongs here, too.
