I was inspired by a beautiful photo of a sunrise that Debi Riley took to start my collage – be sure to check out Debi’s blog at: http://debiriley.com/2016/01/21/wild-morning-sky/
Debi is a very talented watercolor artist! She also has some excellent painting tips on her blog.
The cloud shapes in her photo reminded me a little of cotton candy. So I started cutting out circles from my painted papers in blues, purples, pinks, oranges, reds and a touch of light blue and green. Here is my result:
The size is 9 x 12 inches. As I was pasting my circles to my paper with a glue stick, I listened to the album, “Somewhere” by Eva Cassidy.
One of my favorite songs on that album is “A Coat of Many Colors.” I like Dolly Parton singing it too but Eva is my favorite!
Check out this YouTube video with Eva Cassidy:
Enjoy your day!
Jill 🙂
So pretty, your collage – and wonderful to hear your inspirational song and know Debi’s photo inspired you. Very enjoyable to be in tune with your art!

hi Jill, I love your collage!! not only the glorious colors and the light and shade in the image, but also the imagination and inventive processes you went through to create this! Wow!
the coat of many colors, has a very special meaning to me as well, so the message and ‘content’ of your artwork cements it as one of my favourites!
