While I am Waiting

 Some (older) folks may remember the famous quote from Heinlein's "Stranger In A Strange Land" -- 'waiting is, I grok."  Such understanding comes from proverbs about everything having a time and season. So it is with art, especially undertaking a big project such as this one.

So many pieces! I'll tackle it in chunks, but try not to get overwhelmed. And, in the meantime, work on other ides for new collages....like the one below.

It is hard to use a gigantic image like the moth in the center -- so it doesn't overwhelm. Turning it upside down helped as well as finding matching colors in the architectural elements that turned it into more of an abstract feature. I cut the New York City skyline in half, turning part of it, too, upside down so the blues are connected to the mirrored hall.  The subtle colors of the NYC skyline are reflected in both the ducks-at-sunset as well as the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles. Colors also blend as the body builder's stunning body glistens with the same colors of the skyscape, ceiling and chandeliers in the hall. The geometrical designs on both edges come from The Kizil Caves in China.

Behold....the "MOTHMAN"... (18x26")
