Late mornings into the evening hours seem to be when I get the most done. Perhaps because the light is strongest during these hours, or maybe it's "just because". But those are the hours when things seem to come together for me with the most energy.
Why This Collage?
"Time of day" is the Mixed Media Monday theme this week. I'm not sure how to describe why this collage works in words because it's more of a feeling. But look at the strong contrasts, the alertness, the ripe fruit and deep green leaves--sun and chlorophyl. Bright, alert, productive, growth, ripeness. That speaks the "sunshine hours" to me.
And with only a few hours of sunshine left, I'm on my way out the door to enjoy what's left of the holiday with my family.
Have a great day, Everyone!
This is a wonderful interpretation to the theme!

Great job with your collage and I love the ticket stub. Maybe that symbolizes your
ticket to do whatever you want to do while everyone else is at school or work! Whatever its
meaning-- enjoy those hours every day. And always reserve a little time for creativity!
Well done!
