So good Collette. No sign at all that you had a “ block”. Very interesting and original.

The overall effect is engaging. The text looks good also. I'm sure there'll be many taking a close-up look at you work.

Super work Collette, interesting to read about it on the forum...a great 're-start' if that's the right term.

Acrylic on cradled birch ply 24 x 20 inches. The newspaper was a nuts idea, the small text is indian ink, it was the only way I could make it work.
