Mixed Media Canvas in Progres...

This is the start of a piece that I hope to enter in a local show next month. We'll see how it turns out. I started with a layer of torn scrapbook papers in various designs. All of the papers had similar color schemes so they coordinated nicely. Because some bubbling occured when I was collaging them onto the canvas, I decided to tear away some of the paper, leaving a rough, shabby look. Next some coordinating acrylic paints, some polka dots added with a stencil and texture medium, a grid drawn on in charcoal, and some oil pastels. Sorry about the poor lighting. I snapped these in the early morning ligth before work. Better ones will follow, I promise!
