My new favourite style of painting is word collage freestyle.
I collage computer printed copies of hand-written words or poetry onto a painted canvas or surface, and add colour in assorted new ways, including using a palette knife, plastic bags, feathers and even paint brushes!
For Refuge, I used names from the Bible that describe God. The words in the painting are not obvious unless one takes a close look at the original painting. The parallel is that underneath the turmoil of our lives, God is our Refuge.
Other paintings in word collage freestyle: Sanctus the Heart, Orcadian Mist, Saying the Names -Malcolm Guite, Triune Poet Two, Triune Poet Three and Judy’s Garden.
For details on the word collage freestyle painting process, see Faye’s Blog, Creating Judy’s Garden.
I will have these paintings available for viewing and for purchase at the Art Expo 2012, Oct. 26-28 at Assiniboia Downs in Winnipeg, MB. To view the Expo website, click here.
