I played around with painting fast, not worrying about what I was making, scribbling with Koh-i-Noor pencils and scratching paint with the end of my paintbrush. I was using The Creative Edge book by Mary Todd Beam as my springboard.
I like it so far. The little one said it might need a person. I think she means vintage image since that is what I like to play with most. 
No idea what I'm doing with it yet. It's painted on gesso'd matboard (closest thing I have to illustration board.) Supplies are gesso, acrylic paint and fluid acrylics, vintage paper, modeling paste, stencils, gel pens.
It's about 12X18" in size. Work in progress.

Oooh, i like it!! Working fast is so freeing. No time for the negative voices inside our heads to start talking to us.
I like it too! Thank your for posting it!
I really like this piece and I am fond of Beam's work.
Do you have her earlier book? Is this one like the first?
I think it's fabulous! A little vintage woman may really pull it all together too.
Love this collage painting. I just bought both of Mary T.B.'s books and am awaiting a large order from DickBlick.com! Very inspirational! :D Thanks!
This is a fabulous piece! I must get that book one day.
