"Swept" -mixed media drawing

Swept, mixed media drawing on paper.

Swept, going with the flow. Some have said, only dead fish and leaves go with the flow. Swept, by the need to obey the rules, to act with conformity. Some are swept by passion to "take no more" and risk everything for a cause. Some are swept by a strong current, a tsunami, to resist is futile. Others are swept by peer pressure, by love, by hate.

Abstract art/collage-Emerald

This abstract painting combines pen line drawings, collage elements pasted on surface, wax drippings, acrylic paint in foreground and background. It was an attempt to create and use recycled art and build compartments of color in the foreground elements while using more subdued color and wax drippings in a more abstract manner in the background. This is an example of a contemporary mixed media collage painting.
