Description Digital collage.

Part of a cooperative collage collaboration (more rudely called a "smackdown") with *audreysmith where we each create a collage out of the same classical painting. (See her journal at [link] )


For this round she chose:
Virgin and Child Surrounded by Angels
Jean Fouquet (circa 1470) [link]

My version includes papers from ~vikyvampirs90 and ~frameofthoughts

Classical Redux Gallery is here: [link]

This is beautiful, I like the colours youve chosen, the blue on the right side really works nicely. The idea sounds like a fun one to do!

Pick one of the paintings you like, and make a collage! Note me with a link when you've uploaded, and I'll put it in the gallery at [link]

Nice! I love the paper edges and crinkles.

This one is really challenging me.

I am puzzling over why it is so challenging. I have also battled - experimented with different crops and slices and still veering away from actually producing something I like. Partly, I think, because it so beautifully entire and strange in itself that tampering with it feels trivial - if not sacreligious!

Yes. I had to stop looking at it in the mindset of changing it, because it's basically perfect as far as I'm concerned.

Sometimes bits and pieces just come together in a happy melange. Other times you have to wrestle them into composition.
