CROOKED LETTER-HUMPBACK BLUES

Here's another mixed media collage on an 8 X 10 canvas board. I used newsprint from a local publication with local events on it. I adhered the newsprint with gel medium, then used some to block areas so I could watercolor the paper with mica colors. I printed Mr. Johnson from the internet onto a piece of card stock and cut him out, then gave him butterfly wings. I used mica watercolor on sponge stamps and blotted them to make hazy designs here and there. Next I cut out Mr. Crow and put a crown on him, then I let a little moth light on Mr. Robinson's shoulder down in the corner. All this makes a nice mixed media piece with plenty of local color, and lots of bright artistic color.
