Remains of the Days
REMAINS OF THE DAYS, 27 X 16 inches, acrylic collage on beech panel. 
Lascaux Acrylics, modeling paste, paint tube, plastic

In my studio I had a  pile of dried paint that I peel off my palettes and save (some dated back to plein air works from 2003.) 
I have always thought it was beautiful, and a shame to throw it away. The idea struck me to use the pieces as a collage.  Some pieces bear the imprint of the five gallon bucket lids that I use as palettes, and some are cut up plastic plates. 

This painting gave me the idea of cutting up paintings and re-assembling them that I later developed into Caribbean Pixelation and the interactive paintings.
