This painting was started 3 years ago. I used tape and broke up the images of the fruit into rectangular blocks so they has a somewhat pixelated appearance. This was a new technique I was trying but somehow the background got muddied. I first tried large blocks of multi colors which didn't work. Then I painted over the blocks with Prussian Blue to try and save this piece of art in some sort of disguise. That didn't work. One day I saw scrapbooking paper at the local craft store and got the idea to collage it over the background. I then added a mini photo of the whole painting on the wall, outlining it in balsa wood for a frame. I saved it! It is hanging in my kitchen now, against all odds!
