Aspen Illusions

30x22 acrylic and collage on Lana 140 lb hot press paper done this past week in Douglas Walton's workshop.  From a 3x3 inch square I painted the edges then pink and yellow areas following its patterns, then added black next.  The design needed more pizzazz so yellow tissue paper was collaged on with a half Elmer's glue/half water solution.  This work is now hanging in the Heritage Museum group show.
