My Calistoga • © 2011 Karen Lynn Ingalls
My Calistoga is a painting I've been working on for the 125th birthday celebration of Calistoga, California, the town where I live.
I've incorporated collage elements around the edges of the painting, in a kind of frame. They have a kind of tinted-photograph feeling, one that seems appropriate to me for the occasion. It's one of the collage painting techniques I'll be teaching in this Saturday's Painting Collages workshop at the Calistoga Art Center.
