Drifting hearts and canine apparitions - Cuori alla deriva e apparizioni canine

Collaged bits of paper, including pages from my Italian high school physics text book, stamps, stencils, acrylic paint, gel pens and markers, on watercolor paper. 
Pezzi di carta, tra cui pagine del mio libro di fisica dal liceo, timbri, stampi, pittura acrilica, penne gel e pennarelli, su carta da acquerello. 
The outline of the smaller dog and the top half of the larger one were right there in painted and collaged background, just waiting for me to make them more visible. Whenever I don't know what image to add to a background, all I have to do is stare at it for a while and something or part of something will show up. It's fun because I don't know what I'll see. 
Il profilo del cane piu` piccolo e la parte superiore di quello piu` grande erano li` nello sfondo fatto di pittura e collage, aspettando che io li evidenziassi. Quando non so che immagine aggiungere su uno sfondo, basta che lo fissi per un po` e qualcosa appare. E` divertente perche` non so cosa vedro`.

Thank YOU for the comment. For some reason it's even nicer when a person you don't know likes what you do. I see you are from Seattle, a city very dear to my heart. Love the Mumford and Sons video you posted - I shared it on FB.
