Sharp Edges One painting I use a butane torchOil, cold wax, collage, and graphite 10 x 10 on oil paper Sharp Edges One is a joyful celebration of color and form. With more than a dozen layers of cold wax medium and collage paper, each colorful shape competes for the viewer's attention. Playful thin graphite lines are carved back through these layers to vie for notice too. There are three paintings in the "Sharp Edge" series.
