My collage papers are all hand printed mono prints, died tissue, paper towels and even toilet paper.  Yes toilet paper.  This piece is from a photo by my talented brother who lives in Toronto.

This collage is a compilation of several elements from other recent work.  Using my computer I designed the painting using photo editing and design tools.  From there it was back to the gluing board and the result was fairly predictable while being creatively interesting as well.

A quick floral study in oil followed by a collage.

Another "purist"collage.  When working this way I pride myself on achieving the entire piece strictly in collage.  No paint is applied to the piece at all.  That would make it mixed media instead.  I do mixed media work as well but I decide to do that at the onset.
