A collage that I created for a Fine Art America contest entitled “Only Money”. Paper images of coins mounted on a 20 inch round canvas painted with black acrylic. I placed this canvas on a 24” square black canvas to take the photograph.

Some old coins there. Wow. Awesome fav
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thanks, Donna…..pictures of old coins are easy to find in magazines, mostly from coin companies advertising collector coins for sale. I would be rich if I actually owned all of these coins instead of their photos !

This is so cool Douglas. I love how you got the circle perfectly round like a coin too.
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thank you !....I had not thought about the coin shape until you mentioned it. When I first started designing this, I laid some coins down on a square canvas, and it just looked awkward. The round canvas idea was much more appealing, having circles within a circle.....

Awesome picture!

Thank you.....this is an example of what I call a “collage sketch” ...it is not actually a collage, only a photo of an idea for one. I laid all of the actual coins and the paper cutouts of coins on the canvas, snapped the photo, and then put everything away. Nothing was glued down, I did not want to ruin any collectible coins with glue, because I just laid out this arrangement to enter it’s photo in a contest....
