November End

 November moves easily into December, with no snow in sight. Acrylic collage painting on gessoed thin birch panel 7.5 x 12 inches. I like these final slivers of light...which seem to last only minutes....

 

Collage on primed panel behaves differently than collage on heavy paper. The panel is less absorbent than paper, so if you're not careful you can trap air bubbles beneath the paper that prevent adhesion in places. I've taken to rolling a heavy rolling pin repeatedly over the first large sheets of paper glued down, and that seems to do the trick.
