Conceptual Collage

I am still working from the book Art from Intuition by Dean Nimmer. One of the exercises was to do 10 small collages from which one might choose to develop into a painting.

These are the first two.
After this, I fell back to cut paper collage, using primarily magazine paper. I love working with magazine paper. With these, I was working on developing lines that continue onto other pieces.


If you are actually counting, there are only 8 of them, not 10. Still working on the last two. Regardless of how random these may look, this is actually a fairly time consuming process...looking for shapes and colors that work together. It's almost like doing a puzzle. I have been working on these a few minutes at a time, like maybe 20 minutes in the morning while drinking my coffee.
