Southwest Vistas Series

My years spent in New Mexico had a very strong influence on my worldview and artwork. It seems I’ve unintentionally created a series of watercolor paper collages based on my time there that I’m now calling Southwest Vistas. This includes my previous works “Desert Sunset” and “Rose Mountain,” and a couple other larger works that I have not yet unveiled on my website because they have been submitted for a juried exhibit.
I just mounted a new 11″x14″ piece in the series on canvas this afternoon, and have another piece in the final stages of assembly. The image below is a shot I took last night as I was auditioning papers for their place in the final arrangement.
These two newest collages will be hung in the Austin Fiber Artists Member Show and Sale at the Wesley Gallery.

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!!
I am similarly conflicted. I keep finding New Mexico popping up in my art!
