Autumn
Abstract trees collaged and acrylic painted on canvas board.
Using strips from a 1920's farm newspaper ads to represent tree trunks, this painting drips and splatters acrylic paint to build the body. Newspaper ads primarily of poultry peak through the applied paint.
Added texture and layers build a feast for the eyes and celebrates the senses of Autumn trees.
Lines of poem at bottom by John Keats, "About Autumn", is typed on tissue and collaged. Poem lines read:
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Seasons of mists and mellow fruitfulness;
conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run.
