"In Paradisum" (Faure)
Farewell, Butterfly
[Leb wohl,
Schmetterling]
On butterfly's wings
you're freed from pain and sorrow.
Fly butterfly: FLY!
HAIKU by
Olga van
Dijk 2010
In memory of Steve Langford.
Part of my upcoming solo
show
"GEMS"
February 8-14, 2010
at the Academy of Lifelong
Learning
(University of DE)
It would do great as a poster as
well!
(2nd picture)
------------
It's wonderful to create an artwork where the viewer is wondering:
"What did she paint and what did she glue on?"
Patterns & Shapes
When I plan a collage I try to think how
to
express its mood.
Establishing a pattern in a collage can be
done
by including pieces that repeat
shapes.
Repeated shapes, tones and colors all set
up
visual rhythms that create a sense of
movement and encourage the eye to
"travel"
over the piece.
The diagonal shape gives a strong
tonal contrast.
The blue is adding a desired cold feel to
this musical piece.
To get some harmony and soul in this
cold
color
I added
area's of "warm" copper, which balances
this
collage out. (Color wheel theory!)
Materials used:
Vintage sheet music, book paper, oil
paint,
Matte Medium (my archival glue),
heavy
gloss gel, modeling paste.
