Swimmer's Collage


This collage is of my grandson.  He loves the water, nothing about water scares him.  I painted the canvas with my interpretation of water.  I printed the photographs on tracing paper and then cut the larger two out with scissors (I didn't have an exacto knife). I glued them on the canvas with spray adhesive. To finish this piece I sprayed a matte finishing coat over the entire canvas and framed it with a simple black frame.  I especially love the affect of the cut out images.  He seems to be coming out of the water.
