rolling along

My friend gave me some plywood tondos and I finally have discovered something that works in a round format!
Unfortunately my camera does not read reds very well, so you will have to imagine a little more subtlety than is apparent here:

acrylic and mixed media on canvas
24" diameter approx.

Using fabric for collage is great - certain problems of colour and texture are already half-solved! The flower stems are made with coloured embroidery thread. In fact this whole experiment is just like embroidery and fabric applique, only I'm using acrylic medium and a painted canvas ground.

This one's still in progress - I am really liking the colours so far. It's maybe 30" diameter.
