Spring

I was looking for topics to do collages. Since everything is from recycled magazines, most of the time we get solid and bold colors - colors used mostly in commercial arts. So I thought maybe I should challenge myself and try to use these bold colors "only" (colors with shades are much more helpful in making art). Less shade and less texture. I also try to use "curves" as much as I can just for fun.

I looked at the color papers I collected. There are really beautiful colors. I thought about the seasons. How about using these colors to tell the story of the four seasons? So the first one of course is called spring. Doing a spring in the middle of a winter? Why not? after all, there is global warming, spring can come a bit early.

It turned out to be like a kindergarten work - childlike but not childish I hope. I have found myself lost in all these colors many times in the process. But I hang in there, forget about the smart art rules, just enjoy the fun in playing with more colors, more colors, after all, this is a piece about spring.

Now I have done it. Hopefully the black and white cat could be the anchor for the eyes in these busy colors of spring.

I saw my own busy heart in this piece. So much on my mind at this point in time and they showed.
