"Half Dome" is a watercolor collage landscape painting created from two paintings. Curved strips were cut from a second painting and pasted on the first painting. Additional collage was added to emphasize the vertical thrust of Half Dome and El Captain. Mirror Lake reflects the pine trees and other landscape features.
"Poinsettia" was created from two watercolor collage paintings by pasting a portion of the second cut into strips upon the first painting. The effect is to confuse the viewer whether the first painting or the second is more dominate. The mixture of the red, green and white leaves of the flower enhances the composition.
