| I don't know if you could call it an official technique. I would play in old boat yards when I was a boy and was always fascinated by the colors and shapes and textures of the peeling paint and old boat canvas. |

The sand, rocks, the sea and sky were all that was needed to make me a painter. I was influenced by my natural surroundings and wished to express them in artistic terms. My collage paintings came about by trying to find a technique to express my impressions and inner feelings. Ardent Couple Acrylic Collage on Canvas 34" x 47" $ 1,500 |

I work in acrylic paint with cut pieces of paper. I call it fused collage because the cut pieces of paper are painted then floated into the acrylic medium while everything is still wet. The technique is very difficult, yet freeing at the same time. The cut chapes float and fuse together giving a very spontaneous and flat effect that has its own expression. Deck
