Mixed media, mostly from gelatin monoprints. From an on-line workshop by Carla Sonheim, last year. Not really satisfied, but what the hell. I have a lot more monoprints to work on really beastly political creatures, not on cute ones. The above is unfinished, but I don't know if I will complete the pages any time.

The squares went with other scraps to my collage paper scraps basket.

Selected drawings I did not like and exercises made on weaker paper were cut in squares for collage paper.

Picked off a lot of bad drawings, exercises, etc. and made desk-canvas-mat with the ones that were made on stronger cardboard or paper.

Beginning the slow recovery of the daily art routine.

Finished. Tried to keep it simple.

After two politically tiring and emotionally draining years I am to work on other things again. Hopefully coming here more often also. I am trying to paint a little altar with the three archangels for a present to a religious person. Since I am not such and with all the political turmoil in Colombia, I have been having a hard time to start with them, but hope that now I will be able to move forward. Let's see. The struggle goes on.
