Latest work: "When Worlds Collide"

I usually have some sort of story that accompanies my work, but in this case, I don't know what to say. I began the picture by creating a variety of circles and then added texture, color, tiny circles and triangles, scrawling lines, thin-lined rectangles, a weathered page from an old scrapbook, a clock spring, scratched metal, and more until I felt it was finished. The appeal, to me, is the rich color, the slightly hidden geometric elements, and the swooping lines here and there. ©Carol Leigh
