Ranger Designer Challenge: Dina Wakley Media

I was delighted to be asked to participate in the Ranger Designer Challenge by my sweet friend, Dina Wakley.  We were sent a box of her goodies and asked to decorate a canvas panel.  Here's what I made (heavily influenced by Matisse):

Balzer-ArtLife-wm

It's a painted paper collage.  Here are some detail photos:

I'm very pleased with how the piece turned out.  I feel like it's different than what I've done before and yet still feels like me.  What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by!
