More Love And NYC . . . New Collaged Canvas


Haven't collaged a canvas in awhile so I thought that since I had some photocopies laying around of my NYC photos I would use them for collage.  I reused a canvas panel I had with an unfinished WIP.  It is a 16x20.  I am enjoying creating larger.  

I used matte medium and quickly glued the papers down not really paying attention to where I was putting them or which images they were.  I used payne's gray and raw umber to add color.  I tried to keep a few images exposed like the cab and some of the buildings.  I stenciled letters with some black paint.  Finishing touches were added with white out pen and black sharpie.  

Thought you might like to see the collage before I went crazy all over it! 


I liked this image so much I printed it out as a photo.  You can read all about that in this post HERE.

Sharing this piece today over at Paint Party Friday.  

Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

    Do you ever wonder who Payne was and if he's happy about having the colour grey forever associated with him?

    I wouldn't for the world recognize the collage if you didn't tell me it's the one you went crazy over.
    As usual, I like the dripping on canvas.

    This is such a cool piece. I love the monochromatic look, as well as the very graphic feel that this has--
