SUMMER ON THE BAY

ForSeatuck

This collage is for an upcoming auction to be held on a bay cruise sponsored by Seatuck, a local nature/environmental center.  A lot of different elements from my overflowing collection of postcards, maps, letters and books are used in this piece. I don’t think I’ll ever run out of collage material. Summer is here – enjoy!

GO FISH

Many of the books that I collect are children’s books and school activity books from the fifties and sixties.   I love the illustrations and print of those old days.  Here are some of those pages pieced together for a new collage.

LITTLE YELLOW BIRD COLLAGE ART

RedBrownBird

I can’t seem to get enough of birds these days.  I love it  when I’m sitting by the window and see the cardinals eating the dried seed heads in the garden, or hear the nightingales singing in the trees.  A few times this summer, when I was awake in the middle of the night, I’d hear one lone nightingale off somewhere in the dark singing its beautiful song.  Lovely.  I guess I’ve gotten to that age where these simple things make me smile.  Along those lines, I offer this collage.
