Miss Lilac...

Upon my return from a mini vacation, I finished this painting in a hurry...


... anxious to try my hands at new approaches. Mylar, fairly heavy wire screening and Chinese rice paper were used in my collage for textural effects. I used more fluid paint with this one, i.e., more freedom in paint application (a new trend?). The painting expresses certain of my feelings (wishes?) in the face of recent events in that part of the world....

Note: Without changing the way I paint, I like the dramatic impact that different supports can have on the final look of my paintings. Avoiding boredom is of the essence!
