New work from old work (3)

So this week has been completely taken up by working on two larger collaged pieces. They take up so much time, effort and energy....hope I feel that in time, they are worth it. They are so opposite to my natural working process which is intuitive and instinctive. These need thought and application, layering ( with pva and acrylic mat medium ) and acrylic paint. I have slightly been looking at to he working process of Jeane Myers , who also layers although mainly paint and wax. Need more research into texture using paper. It seems important to I me that the texture comes from paper, rather than plaster or texture medium. Will see how that evolves.

This was the first one, maybe still not wholly resolved. I love the layers and textures though and I like that the display in the chimney breast incorporates a large one ( 33 inches sq.) and the small ones ( 15 cm sq. )

Textures in the larger one. There's about 5 layers of paintings. I like that. I like the crunchiness of the edges.
