I am so pleased to announce that my Citra Solv® collage ‘Citra Autumn’ recently was a runner-up in the “Falling into Art” contest sponsored by Citra Solv®. I am grateful for this award! This is the first time I have ever created a scene in collage, and I found it fascinating, but a bit challenging. It reminded me of a jigsaw puzzle, trying to find just the right color and texture in my stash of altered National Geographic™ pages. I used a black sheet of Arches cover paper for the base sheet and left some of the paper showing to create line and emphasis. I also drew some of the tree limbs with a dark Pitt pen. Maybe someday I will create something that will win a place award. It is always fun to have a goal isn’t it?

This is a fantastic painting, collage, or however you want to classify it. I think you should have an entire show of citra-solv collages. I absolutely love landscape done in this way.
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations. If this is your FIRST piece like this, I don't think you will have to wait too long to reach your goal. This is such a lovely piece. Truly autumnal, contemporary with a fascinating echo of Klimt. Spectacular first go at creating a scene in collage!!!

ReplyDeleteCongrats, Eva! I love the compositional flow of line and texture, very worthy of this award.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stan. I am honored that an artist, whose work I admire, would say such nice things!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations...this piece has a delicate feel...I like it very much!
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting Mary Ann. The delicacy is probably because of the lacy textures made by Citra Solv.
