New collage piece

This is a new piece titled  The Hieyelander, a collage on Masonite board made with the hand-painted paper that I spoke of in my last post. I've been using gouache and acrylic. The acrylic lays down with a more consistent tone, but the gouache makes surprises on the paper...it puddles and runs like watercolor, but dries nice and flat and slightly textured. I am pleased.
