“Bracing For End-of-Times (i.e. Winter)”

*Revised from a similar, simpler version made this past January that had, regrettably, much paper warping that needed to be disguised.  
---
At any rate, I've removed a few sequins here and there since photographing yet am still on the fence about where this has gone!

9 in. x 12 in. mixed-media collage on bleak vintage landscape over black mounted canvas with a crusty field of 3 mm, 5 mm, & 8 mm iridescent sequins, clear glitter, and generous pools of Mod Podge
