Steve Jobs Collage by Carmen Beecher in Word Play Exhibit

This collage is in the "Word Play" exhibit at the SoBo Gallery & Art Center in Winter Garden for the month of January. The theme is artworks with words incorporated in them. I am really excited about this, because I used to live in Winter Garden and I always call it my "Happy Days" stage of life. It was a lot like the TV show, just a carefree time of life with some very interesting characters. For sentimental reasons, I am very happy to be in the show, and after about 30 years away from Winter Garden I was happy to see that the town is smart enough to keep up with the times and become a very nice place to visit. The downtown area has managed to be quaint, beautiful and trendy all at the same time.

P.S. This collage just sold!

Steve Jobs - Completed Collage

I suppose I should have read his biography first, but I was pressed for time, so I did this collage and now I'm reading the biography. He was a fascinating person and, as the book says, he revolutionized computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. I can tell you from personal experience that once you go Mac...you never go back.

Sketch of Steve Jobs, 24x30

This is my sketch for my latest project, and it is no Daily Painting. This one is a brain-strainer. I am presently collaging it, and as a woman I know used to say, I am "plumb wore out." The effect I want takes a lot of deep thought. My brain needs a rest now, so I need to do a no-brainer activity. Watch a reality show? Play Angry Birds?

I've got it! A nap!
