September Challenge Finale

Although our painting is done for the month, each participating artist is supposed to share a collage of the work we did during the 30 paintings challenge. I decided to just share the pen & ink cards I did which is only 29 pieces.
September 2015 Collage
My collage isn't nearly as colorful as most of those that are being shared but that is what you get when you choose pen & ink. I tried to make the collage more interesting by sprinkling the pieces with watercolor throughout the whole thing but I kept losing the photos. I really am not adept at moving things with the mouse - lol.

I wasn't going to join the September challenge because it is a busy month for me but I decided that I needed the excuse to do some art. The pen & ink cards had the advantage of being small enough to tackle in a day and, also of being easy to display in my home gallery.

The month is done; now it is on to other endeavours.
