collage experimental

I struggled with this “made up” portrait until I decided to overlay a manipulated photo of the Mona Lisa printed on transparent vellum on top of the face. So this piece is a homage to Leonardo DaVinci in a round about way. There are at least nine layers of collage pieces in most of this piece.
It is in the collection of one of my artist friends, Dianna Fritzler.
