Fall Landscape
November 2nd, 2010
Here's my art for day 2 of Art Every Day Month. I had already started the base collage (you can see what it looked like here.) I stared at the collage for a while this morning and began to see a landscape when I turned it on its side. So, I used acrylic to bring out the treescape I saw. Feels very fall to me! It's about 14"x10" on paper.

wow! i love how you do that, leah – instead of having an end vision in sight when you start, you interact with your pieces along the way, turn them around, upside down, and you totally go with it when your piece says to you, “i like how i started, but now i think i’d like to flip on my side.” it looks awesome!

Interesting how you brought out the trees by leaving the collage to be seen. Giving us an idea of the size is good to imagine the final piece in an environment.

Love your use of negative space! That’s funny – this morning I had the thought that I was going to pay extra attention to the negative spaces I saw today.

Really cool piece. I have this image in mind of you holding up the page and turning and pondering and then the Muse hit!

This is beautiful! I already liked the collage the way it was but now that you have added the forest in that vibrant color it is doing something really cool to it. I love the shapes of the trees.

Oo, I love how it just evolved for you. At first I thought “carrots?” but now I totally see fall

Loving the adventure you invited us all to share. I think I will try to let the acrylic flow more and hopefully like you, find a landscape. Love this Fall scene.
