Collage

KY1015
Circles of coloured tissue paper stuck on randomly and fishing boat at Crail Harbour added in acrylics. 10 x 12 inches on canvas board.

Cumbrian Farm 
Canvas board painted black then coloured tissue added from cool in the background to warm in the foreground. Text paper added for the building and some acrylic paint.
I had problems photographing the picture- the blues are not the right colour and the warm colours are much more subtle than shown. 20 x 16 inches.
