12”x12” mixed media on board This piece is an Homage to Rousseau (not the philosopher nor the painter, but the San Francisco architect.) Oliver Rousseau designed understated, beautiful and livable homes starting in the 1920’s. With collagescapes, I begin with a painting on paper. I create proportional fields of different colors to represent a particular landscape. The painting is then cut up into small pieces for a collage where they are reconfigured into various patterns.
