Under the lights
© Catherine Redmayne
A vivid/lurid background for the drawn figure with a weary face. What is her story? Image size 7.5×6.5 inches (19×16.5 cm).
Paradise garden

A 7 inch square of abstract colour shapes on fragile paper collaged on a background colour field (18×18 cm).
This image is available as a print or greeting card here.
The girl waits
© Catherine Redmayne
A tiny collage picture (ATC size) which includes a reproduction of a detail from a larger painting. It is so strange how the tilt of the head, the surrounding colour etc. changes everything – she looked quite happy before!
The original portrait sold long ago but this new version is available as a print in various formats here.
Sparrows
© Catherine Redmayne
A fun experiment in trying to get a sumi-e look on the iPad using the Brushes App. The sparrow ‘paintings’ were then printed on silk and added to a background of prepared papers in a collage.
Size 7×5 inches (18×13 cm)
Jurassic Park
© Catherine Redmayne
A collaged pattern of pieces cut from prepared papers and stuck on a monotype background. The theme was suggested by a couple of the shapes but the pattern is abstract really and is one of an experimental set using simplified 3-tone versions of photographs as a starting point. 7×5 inches (18×13 cm).
I had this framed and Adam the framer said it was foxes so I renamed it Vulpes vulpes! But it’s still listed under the old title here.
Jamaican holiday
© Catherine Redmayne
Most of my current collages are made with decorated papers I prepare myself but this one I ‘made earlier’ has always been one of my favourites. The shape of the house is more-or-less as it should be but it was actually black and white. The collaged additions are not Caribbean!
Reproduction and iPhone case available here.
Dreary, bleary Alice
© Catherine Redmayne
A small picture which evolved through collage and many layers of paint. The title comes I think from Mervyn Peake’s Letters from a Lost Uncle and always makes me smile. Image 6.75 inches square (17 cm square) on heavyweight watercolour paper.
Dancing birds

A giggle! Collage and stamping on watercolour paper.
Red sky at night
© Catherine Redmayne
Hope the shepherds enjoy it! An abstract of red and blue measuring 7×7 inches (17.5×17.5 cm) collaged onto heavyweight watercolour paper.
Inward looking, outward looking
© Catherine Redmayne
A collage with one of the prepared papers featuring a blind contour drawing. Image 8.5 inches square (21.5 cm square). Lightweight decorated papers on heavy watercolour paper.
Pink elephant
© Catherine Redmayne
Well, no – it’s not really an elephant, I agree! But at a quick glance it might be! A mixed media piece including some collaged prepared papers on heavyweight watercolour paper. Size 6.5 inches square (16.5 cm square).
The man at the gate
© Catherine Redmayne
This is a tiny image – only 4.5 inches square – but I find it pleasing because you have to seek out the man of the title. A representation of a happy day out exploring the surroundings of an old English church.
Harbour
© Catherine Redmayne
A tiny picture only 4×4 inches but I found it pleasing when the abstract pieces seemed to make a nice whole. Prepared papers collaged onto heavyweight watercolour paper.
Billboard
© Catherine Redmayne
An abstract of prepared papers, collaged to heavyweight watercolour paper. The similarity to a ‘distressed’ advertising site has been deliberately developed.
Image size 8×8 inches (20×20 cm approx) ready to frame under glass.
Yellow piano man
© Catherine Redmayne
One of my drawings made at a gig and used here as a collage item in a mixed media piece with prepared papers. Mounted on heavyweight watercolour paper ready to frame under glass. Image size is 8×8 inches approx.
View from my window
© Catherine Redmayne
An abstract pattern of collaged prepared papers. There is no view, there is no window but it looks like there might be!
Image size 7.5×7.25 inches (19×18.5 cm) on heavyweight watercolour paper, ready to frame under glass.
Dreamer
Dreamer

A bold ‘blind contour’ drawing over an abstract collage background. Her thoughts may be elsewhere but it’s a good day – she’s wearing her red dress.
Image size 7.25×8.25 inches (18.5×21 cm approx) on heavyweight watercolour paper ready to frame under glass.
Marked
© Catherine Redmayne
A ‘blind contour’ drawing over a collage background. The remainder of the collage was painted out with black to set off the face. The image measures 8×9.5 inches approx. and is on heavyweight watercolour paper ready for framing under glass.
The three musketeers
© Catherine Redmayne
Essentially an abstract piece but I like the vague resemblance to three heads in a row! 7×5 inches. Mixed media including collage on heavyweight watercolour paper.
Reproductions of this painting in different formats or as a greetings card are available here.
