The Neighborhood

This piece measures 24x24" with each house section measuring 4x6". The base is red rosin paper which has been gessoed on both sides. Each background of the house sections was painted with acrylic paint. The houses were drawn out on another piece of gessoed red rosin paper, painted with acrylic paint and embellished with a number of recycled things including the inside of the envelopes your bills come in - they have great graphics on them - dryer sheets that have been spray painted, corregated packing material, tissue packing, peeled up dried acrylic paint from my table & pieces of an old sewing pattern. These were such fun to make. They were then adhered to the base with a gel medium. Some got chimneys and some wire swirly things. Enjoy!
