I’m at our cabin and was up far too early today. I awoke at 5:45 and made the mistake of looking out the window. The special early-morning silence of the forest captured me and there was no turning back. So I came downstairs and sat by the window hoping to see a deer walk by. How many hundreds of deer have I seen in my lifetime? No matter. There is still something entrancing about a deer’s silent, graceful passage through the trees. I didn’t see one but I fed the blue jays (they love peanuts and are very raucous sorting out who goes first).
New collage - untitled
So here’s a bad photo of my new collage. The background photo i a rock formation at Arches National Park. The formation reminded me of the three wise men (it may even be named that for all I know) so I treated it as such. The hats are part of a Venus Flytrap, the caps are part of the stinky corpse plant that bloomed recently at Huntington Gardens, the frontman is carrying a Chinese lantern, and the blue moon is an old victrola speaker thing. The little goat, since mountain goats do belong at Arches, is one of my brother’s baby goats. He’s standing on part of the stinky plant. I like this, although I may take the goat out.
Today continuing word on a collage that is vexing me – can’t get it right but it’s somewhere in there. I have more collage images in my art gallery.
All I can say is I am in aw of what you have been doing. Each collage is a masterpiece. How you imagine these…genius. Can’t wait to see them in person.
