Bigger and Blue

Tahoe Collagescape, mixed media on board, 24” x 36”

The latest work in my collagescape series is also the biggest piece so far (and I want to go bigger).  Anyone who has visited Lake Tahoe in person knows there is an intense, rich blue palette found there that is not quite like any other lake.  After painting layers of blue on paper and cutting up the pieces, I reassembled the lake (it’s somewhere close to 20,000 pieces).
