Collages
New Series started – Atmosphere
by Pat on Nov.19, 2012, under Atmosphere, Collages
I’m beginning a new series with “Atmosphere” as a lead direction thought. It will mainly deal with abstract shapes and textures blending in with the haze of space around them. I have been cleaning my brushes on Rice Paper as I worked on projects and am now going to tear and cut from them and juxtapose on a series of panels and canvases. This, “Along Coastal Oregon River” is the first finished attempt. There are 4-5 others in different stages.
“Along Coastal Oregon River” – Collage – 12 x 12 inches
More Collage/Acrylic getting done

Finishing up one last collage from my South Slough series. They have a 10-Minute Hiking Trail and I found the beginning the short trail had many textures and angles.
“South Slough 10-Minute Path Start” – Collage – 16 x 15 inches
Light & Dark Path – South Slough
by Pat on Aug.19, 2012, under Collages, South Slough Area
Started a new painting for the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) Pathways Series. It is 24 x 30 inches and a past unsuccessful painting. So far, I have used Acrylic Paint, Acrylic Inks, Papers, Gold Leaf, Brushes, Pencils, Brush Handles, hands, and at the end of the cycle I pressed the disposable palette here-and-there into the painting before tossing the palette. Now, it needs to dry before more layering.

Coos Bay Tidal Channel
by Pat on Jun.10, 2012, under Acrylic Paintings, Collages, for Recent Art
I was introduced to some work by English artist, David Tress and saw much of what I have been searching to get the feeling of what I was experiencing in nature. The layering of textures and extending past the picture plane was a huge reminder of how I thought of painting at an earlier age.
To experiment, I took an earlier “water” painting that had frustrated me and did the same scene but stepped further back so the composition and texture would give added strength. I feel this is a breakthrough for me – as I am lining up future works with the learned concepts.
