Rudbeckia collage 29-10-19
Having amassed enough flowers, I have begun work on the first Rudbeckia collage.
Yellow Rudbeckia 18-10-19
Another Rudbeckia to add to the collages of my Autumn garden.
Deep red Rudbeckia 17-10-19
These deep red Rudbeckias are a particular favourite of mine. I have pinned them on the background fabric just to see how they work together.
Dyeing background fabric 16-10-19
Dye-work for another collage. These painterly backgrounds add greatly to the richness and sense of depth in the final collage.

Framing paintings 1--09-19
Framing is always an interesting challenge. It needs both to work with and enhance the art, and it is also the bridge between art and the space in which it is to hang. The accepted style in Cornwall, which is a centre for the arts, is very minimal white on white. Here I have chosen a lime waxed molding both immediately around the oil painting and framing the whole. Between is a white painted board. I do like this clean but finished look.
