ABSTRACT COLLAGE/Painting
Dimensions: 24'x34' (61X 86.5 cm)
This collage/painting is totally made of (a Dutch) news paper on soft board
Unfortunately on your screen,
you won’t get a sense of the texture
of the paint, (news) paper, the
shimmer of the Rhine stones and the
other material.
I love the darkness of the raw umber and the copper earth tones I used, such as raw sienna, which gives EGGS FOR BREAKFAST the warm color effect.
In the golden paint drops (left) I glued sienna colored Swarovski's Rhine stones. It's giving that extra sparkle which this piece needed.
Framing: I glued the soft board on
triplex, and “framed it” with sheets of music.
Then I
used modeling paste over the music paper,
sanded it, which gives it the marble
like look. I finished the frame with a golden gloss wash, which makes the color soft and warm.

There is a charming complexity about this work. The texture and layering are wonderful. I am fond of the egg theme because my wife decorates eggs (pysanki). Oh, such simple pleasures in life.Zindy Nielsen 10 Dec 2007

Well, we may miss some of the detail but not the overall feel of the piece, Olga. I always equate eggs with morning and this is such a warm sunny piece---much like the egg's yolk itself.Julia Lesnichy 06 Nov 2007

gorgeous autumn colors, olga, peace, joRobin Brown 04 Oct 2007
I feel robbed Olga, we're missing the true essence of this work. However, there is enough of the image to give us a taste of the true image. Pun intended. On colours alone it gets my vote. The textures would simply add to what we do see. XXBrenda Loveless 04 Oct 2007
