Mixed media group - torn paper collage

At our last meeting we decided we would do another collage each one doing our own. I thought I would be able to try a very simple collage with large blocks of muted colors. But when one of the gals brought fashion magazines with really good color on the advertisements, I just had to use those bright colors on the glossy paper. I didn't really have a subject in mind, but after looking at the scrap I'd torn up they  seemed to evoke food images, or fruit. So I ended up doing tablescape of mixed fruit. Here it is.

Maybe in future I can curb my enthusiasm for bright colors and do a sudbdued meditative collage piece.
