Description An assignment from my Intermediate I painting class, Spring '05.
Acrylic on canvas with some paper elements.
In a vain attempt to get around actually painting, I tried to do something that was more of a collage, incorporating some old maps I'd found. In the end, I found myself enjoying the painting aspect more than I'd thought I would, and it became primarily a painted work.

Thanks! I once had a spectator tell me that he'd traced the entire story of humankind: from Adam & Eve through WWII, in this painting. Not my intention, but I'm happy people find it so interesting!

I had to look up both of those artists! (Shows how up to date I am on the "art scene".) But thanks!
