A series of semi-abstract collages, mostly evocative of landscapes and/or the natural world. Made with self-made patterned papers plus some salvaged paper (from the back of a weathered poster from Madrid). Graphite and/or sanguine shading on most; ink stippling on some. All 5″x7″.

This series, depicting individual fruits and vegetables, was created in late 2024. These are small (5×7 inch) paintings in oil on paper, made using a subtractive technique. That technique, along with the interaction of the oil paint with the primed paper, create an unusual visual texture and a sense of illumination and mystery.
