On the Rocks, 12090 torn paper mixed media collage abstract and High Heel Shoe Collage Workshop by Nancy Standlee, Texas Contemporary Artist

On the Rocks

24x12 torn paper collage abstract mixed media on canvas

I chose a vertical format for long thin strips of magazine papers and vintage stamps, covered with glazes of acrylic paint and highlighted with lines of acrylic paint. See the close up below:

The sides are painted a neutral gray with some of the paint hovering at the outside edge of the painting with more black marks. The painting is signed on the side so it could be hung horizontally or vertically. The title comes from early images I'd used from a Sedona tourist magazine and there are two large images that say "Sedona" in the early layers. (I've never been to Sedona but it's on my list to take a workshop there so I'd ordered information about the area and "On the Rocks" was some text that came from this information.)

The painting can be seen at my online art gallery at Daily Paintworks HERE.
