#18 sunshine cross

I had always been intrigued by the paint color charts and wheels and wanted to incorporate them into the collage work.  This was the first piece I did with them.  I liked the idea of a bright orange cross and decided it would be fun to bring in the cloud imagery from my paintings.  The whole piece is meant to be reminiscent of a perfect day.  The “real” blue sky is slightly obscured.
