Torn Paper Collage on Canvas

Torn paper collage on 8 x 10 x 1.5 canvas.

I like using throw away materials to create art.
 
Do you think the papers in this collage could be fine Japanese hand crafted papers?

Actually they are fine Costco paper towels soaked with acrylic and saved rather than trashed.
Never worry about archival quality because they are coated back and front with Golden gels.

Rocky Top No. 2

This colorful acrylic, 16 x 40 x 1.5 canvas, is highly textured with pebbles, cedar chips, and heated Tyvek.

Big Thompson River No. 2

Remembering August, 2011, my summer spent by the Big Thompson River in Estes Park, Colorado.  In addition to the Tyvek, Crackle paste and a mixture of gel and spackling paste add lots of texture to this 18 x 24 acrylic painting.

Tyvek, foil, and crackle paste

I love the texture of the Tyvek after applying heat to it, crackle paste adds more texture, and the foil gives awesome, bright colors.  Now I must have a name for these two paintings that had their beginning in my demo at Mid Cities Fine Artists.

I started this painting in a demo with the Mid Cities Fine Artists group in November.  It has gone through several changes, but it is now definitely finished.  I just put the final coat of resin on it and it is now in the process of drying.
This time a fitting name has not materialized.  It will come....
