About this Product
This mixed media collage painting is created using watercolor paints and found objects. The combination of the realistic watercolor background with the monkey and cat images are a fun juxtaposition and add a lot of interest.
This collage features an original watercolor painting. I wanted to play with size and prospective. With the addition of the large monkey from magazine cut-outs completed the composition and really gives this piece a fun feel. When I made this work of art it was after a hard day of work and this little monkey needed a rest too! This painting would be lovely in a any small space in your home that needs a little pop of color!

Meet the Maker
Hi! I am Susan. My love of fine art, crafts and jewelry design has been a passion for over 20 years. I work mostly in watercolors but enjoy all mediums and love to experiment. I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy creating it!

I started my career in college where I earned a B.S. of Education specializing in fine art. that is in essence why I have such a diverse range of art styles and why I love working with so many different mediums. When you go to school to teach art the course of study is quite different then if you go for a fine art degree outright. The main difference is not only do you not specialize in one medium to excel, you are actually encouraged to try as many as possible different ones until you graduate! Imagine the fun of every semester trying something new and exciting!
I never did end up teaching children, but a few years later when I took some classes to learn computer and graphic design, I was given the opportunity to teach at the college level and fell in love with it. I spent nearly ten years after working as adjunct faculty at several community classes while earning an MBA. I taught a variety of classes including watercolors, oil painting, web design, and business classes.
During my days of teaching, I dreamed of selling my art but never had the time. I had been painting and making jewelry for years and decided to sell online and put my business skills to use! I make what I love and most important thing to me is to create something unique and not stick to any rules on "sticking to a niche". The only thing you can expect from Ruby Keen is the unexpected and a HUGE variety of fine art, crafts, and jewelry! My goal is to give my customers items they can't find anywhere else and treat everyone like they are my friend.
Thank you so much for visiting my shop and learning more about why I created this business. It means a lot to me, and appreciate every sale more than you know.
Sincerely,
Susan
How it’s Made
This original mixed media collage painting was created on a heavy weight watercolor paper. I typically begin my mixed media artwork with a watercolor background. I use a very loose style and add some details as I work with inks, markers, or colored pencil. I then use found objects such as magazine or book clippings and carefully cut our interesting shapes and arrange on the piece. I may tie the piece together with splatters of paint or other media to add interest.
This artwork is not framed. Please see the dimensions for the overall paper size and the size of the artwork on the paper. There is a border to add a mat and frame. Please note that the size of the work may require a custom mat to fit into a standard size frame.
This painting is shipped on a ridged cardboard backer, wrapped in a protective plastic sleeve, and then in a ridged cardboard mailer sealed to protect is from bends and weather in transit. The painting is signed on the back with the year it was painted and the name of the work.
