"Somedays paintings just don't work...
Somedays I do want to just tear them up and burn them
Somedays..."
I've not found any journal pages that I want to burn but plenty of pictures ;-)
But one of the problems with doing so much of my art work digitally is that I rarely have the pleasure of burning my pages... today's MMM challenge however gave me the immense pleasure of virtually "burning" my work!
Here is a detail from it before the burn:
It was inspired by some photographs of a dig in Bristol that unearthed Medieval skeleltons below the bus station.

it is a great mmm and you know what the pictures you have mixed are great. i like the colors and i was also imagining them without the texts on top of them. i thought it would be better.
ReplyDeletethere was a collage of pictures that i have made a long time agon and when i had it almost finished that i felt like throwing or burning them but, a sudden idea came and i started painting some colors on top and varnish it with a strong color-it turned out so beautifully.
Isay - thanks I may have another go at this particular collage another day!
ReplyDeleteYou now I really like that skeleton.And that muddy brown gives it a real atmosphere.
ReplyDeletethanks Janey!
ReplyDeleteI know this was posted ages ago. I looked at it, loved it like all your collages, but moved on. Now I just wanted to acknowledge it.
ReplyDeleteAges ago? It doesn't feel like that... its been haunting me all week...

ReplyDeleteThanks fin
ReplyDeleteI very much like this piece!
ReplyDeleteThe insect was good too - though I could not look at it long as it was a bit too realistic and I get creeped out by bugs too easily. however; quality wise; excellent likeness.
thank you - I hope you get over being bugged by bugs but I do know some people have such problems. Must have made IF - Insect week really tough for you!
