“The Rose” 2004

This piece is collage and acrylic on paper. It began as a larger pencil drawing that I was never satisfied with.

After looking at it for a few years, I decided to crop it drastically and add some collage and acrylics on top of the pencil.

The collage is created with torn and cut magazine colors.

The bright green color on the leaves was an unexpected addition when, unknown to me, my young daughter Rachel decided to help me out with her watercolor paints.

I decided to leave the color there, adding the flower which contained some bright green as well.

Look closely however, and you’ll realize that the rose isn’t really a rose at all.
