I am fascinated by collage and with my background in design love fashion images. I have also been feeling so pulled between the aspect of mothering my children and the desire to paint ad return to school, I wanted to try to represent this with a crazy kind surreal dream scape using a collage image.
The composition looks something like this... 
With a dove representing peacefulness and a parrot representing the carefree lifestyle of youth both flying out of the picture with a dog and a baby and some butterflies, adding to the surreal aspect of the picture, also the woman's features are displaced....so far looks something like this... in water colour...

I am pleased with it so far...

Hey Heather,
We're FINALLY getting caught up after the girls have gone back to school - whew! Love your new blog and am going to commission a new painting next time you come to Burgundy. Can you guy smake it anytime soon? We are heading into the time of year where we have lots of space and would LOVE to have you.
Plus, I have to tell you about this amazing writer I met who does collages for all her books / writing projects and it's amazing how it helps set the tone. However, too long for a comment!
Bisous
Laura
