"Tropical Dream" Duo



Both of these photomontages began with a photo I took of brown paper on which I'd wiped some white gesso.

After I photographed the paper (which is the third photo in this set), I used it as the base of the physical collage you read about in my previous post -- "Bird-Watching in the West."

Because I'm a collage artist as well as a photomontageur (!), I can use and re-use these sorts of things with impunity.
