Fruit Salad Recipe

I find, that like many others, I'm trying to use what I have, make it go further, get creative with what's already around.  This latest painting, "Fruit Salad", is one such attempt. 

I took strips of canvas from other completed paintings and gessoed them.  Each piece is roughly (and I mean roughly) 6 by 12 inches.  With torn edges and painting up to the very edge, each mini-painting canvas floats atop another canvas.  The blue wash comes from a squirt bottle filled with paint from another project.  I watered down the paint and brushed it loosely on the background, to set off all the orange colors in the top and bottom paintings.

I used what I had.  I created something new. 

I like it.
