The title for this collage painting pretty much sums up how I'm feeling today, "Profound joy". Can you find these words hidden in the artwork?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Part of the upcoming "Spaciousness" series, I'm at the tale end of creating 3 more collages to add to this collection during my lunch breaks from my day gig this week, making a total of 18!

This is another one of my new abstract collages in the "Spaciousness" collection that will be released this Fall.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This little 6"x6" cutie is titled "Interconnectedness of all things". Can you find these words hidden amidst the collage pieces?

I'm working my day gig this week, which luckily only happens one week a month. The rest of the month I claim the title of "full time artist".
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since this week is very packed with leading 6 hours of zoom training each day, I decided to spend my 2 hour mid day break with a bit of collage making.
Check out my stories today to follow my progress to add 3 more 6"x6" collage paintings by the end of the week.

This abstract collage started as an experiment while on a socially isolated beach vacation this past July.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had challenged myself to create small 6"x6" collages with the limited supplies I brought with me. Not only did I do this, but ended up creating one every day for a total of 6.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now my little experiment has evolved into a full collection of 15+ collages in a new series called "Spaciousness", named after the spiritual state I was in while creating each. This name also happens to be one of my new favorite words - makes me sigh almost every time I say it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This particular collage is titled "Thank you God" and will be released sometime this Fall.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm working my day gig this week (only one week each month), so there is little time for art. HOWEVER, if I could create this little collage in about 2 hours, maybe I could create a few more during my 2 hour lunch breaks this week. Check out my stories (starting today) to follow along as I create 3 at a time, increasing the collection to 18 by the time I'm through.

I did a little experiment today.

In preparation for releasing my new collection “At Peace”, I took this detail photo of a new collage with both my iPhone and Canon Rebel 50mm cameras.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Any guess which pic came out better?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yes, the iPhone won the day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
However, this isn’t good enough for the archival fine art prints I will eventually create from these photos, so I’m investing in a better camera lens.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not what I expected to buy today, but psyched nonetheless.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now I will be able take my own professional photos instead of hiring someone to do this for me.

One blessed step at a time, I’m following where I’m being led as my art business organically grows into what it’s destined to be.
