Bridge, collaged painted paper with acyrlic painted figure on 24x20 board
I made the above landscape collage years ago but it always seemed
unfinished to me. Recently I added the seated figure that seems to both
ground and balance the composition as well as highlight the overhead bridge.
Often the abstracted pieces that I make
later serve as backgrounds for figures or studies
in the foreground which makes me wonder
how confident I am about the original compositions.
Can they stand alone? Are they too busy, too spare?
Always lots of questions until something gels in any given piece.

I have found that this new addition to you collage to be mesmerizing...the woman waiting for ...well we can all relate to waiting for someone or something. The bridge is still a very appropriate title. Thank you for sharing this "new" work. I love the "what if?" about life. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
I think that is a lovely way to do it, backgrounds first then add the figure or focal point, and btw I love the sudden winds of change below!!
Mary Helen, thanks so much for your thoughtful comments. The "waiting" aspect is very much a part of where I am right now.
Cat,
Thanks so much for stopping by!
