Lady in orange

head of woman with orange dress on blue backgroundA new addition to my monoprint portraits. This woman was on a multi-coloured collaged background but that had been painted out so the orange is set starkly against the light blue. Mixed media work with collage. Image size about 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm).

Turkish bath

A nude woman has a vaguely oriental background!

Drawing after a sculpture by Frank Dobson. Collage of decorated papers including the monoprint of the drawing – it might be inside a tiled Turkish bath. Image 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm).

Phyz

Phyz or face

A collage of decorated oriental papers with the barest minimum of line-work to show the face. Image size 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm approx). The original drawing may have been after a tribal mask – but I can’t recognise it now! It was fun to do anyway.

Is she an artist’s model? Or just a woman enjoying the warmth falling on her through the blinds which provide seclusion?

A mixed media piece with collage, contour drawing and distortion!

Image 8×10 inches (20×25.5 cm).

Last post of the year – wish it was warm enough to sit around in the nude!

Happy New Year.

Hmm. An ink drawing collaged onto decorated papers. Sadly the paper turned out to be very delicate and one of her legs fell off in the process – poor lady! But I like the picture anyway. Image 8×10.5 inches (20×27 cm).
