New Collage-It Must Be Spring


It Must Be Spring

After affixing handmade monoprints on deli paper to a 12” x 12” gallery wrapped canvas, I thought I was going to paint a delicate portrait. The painting had its own ideas. Before I knew it, a tree emerged. I saw the trunk and round shape of limbs.

It must have been the birds singing outside the window. It was as if they flew onto the canvas to direct my brush and palette knife. Soon a sweet landscape emerged. They asked me to call the painting, “It Must Be Spring”.
