Watch  my  process--I  started  out  with  a  12 x 24 wood cradle  board.
My  favorite  are  the  deep  edged  ones,  and  they  come  in  all  sizes.   I'm  really liking  working  on  wood  a  lot  more  than  canvas  lately  especially for  collage  (less chance  for  air  bubbles).
So  first,  I  made  a  background--
 This  is  a  fun  part--just  play  and  experiment,  because  if  you  don't  like  it,  you  can  paint  over  it--just  like  painting  papers--you  can't  mess  up.
And this is where my background becomes part of my foreground--
.....and then adding in the details...
And still more playing--this time I'm seeing elephants--
These guys needed to be on a box, and I had the perfect cigar box for them.
This is such a fun way to paint--you can keep it abstract or keep going--there's no right or wrong.
