Reaction to Picasso and 2 more 24 x24 inch works

The think what made the Picasso show at VMFA so interesting and amazing to me was the fact that I had not seem over 90% of the work on display ever before.  It was so neat to see the studies and sketches that led up to his final paintings/sculptures. I just wish they had been displayed together as opposed to having  a lot of the sketches and studies in the crowded hallway.  The works that appealed to me the most were the 3-d collage type pieces with the mixed media/found objects.  I liked the dimension of them, but at the same time they gave off similar feeling as the 2-d works.  They were different media, but clearly his work and style. 

I just finished my last 2- 24x24in pieces with my circles, making a total of 4-14 x14in and 4-24x24in. A few of them still need some fixes and reworking, but what I have been inspired to do next as I move up to my next size (36x36) is incorporate layers of 3-d media and found objects...maybe even some wax layers too.  I will start with just wood and then expand from there.  I want it to be obvious that the new 3-d piece fit within the series, yet give them their own multidimensional qualities. We'll see how it goes.

The attached image is 2 different 24 x 24in pieces.  Enjoy.
