Collage Painting Painting is mainly in various shades of gray and tan. A hand made paper is applied to canvas and paint is applied over the top to create accents. The upper 3/5 of the painting has a muted grid design which includes two black vertical lines and off white horizontal lines. In this section at the top in the lower left and upper right are ten colored abstract shapes resembling mountains. There is an applied wavy gray line which runs across the painting. The lower 2/5 of the painting has broader vertical gray and off white bands with two black lines. On top of this are irregular shapes of white paper with dark gray crackle lines. There is also an applied irregular oblique line running across the lower section and ending in the center. The bottom 5.5" is painted a plain gray. In the lower right hand corner is the artist's signature in white: "N Okamura 81". The canvas is stretched over and stapled onto a wooden frame that has two cross bars and eight triangular wood supports.
