Getting Collage on to Canvas

I bought a pad of canvas sheets and have been experimenting with collaging them on a stretched canvas. This work went through a lot of transformations but I am happy with the end result. I love how you experience the texture and consistency of the paint and how that contrasts with the hard edges of the cut pieces. When I first started cutting canvas I was surprised by how cleanly and easily it cut.
