All my life I have been searching for a way to make my most treasured items last. Often times old trinkets become broken, lost, or forgotten altogether over the years of childhood. Unfortunately, for some of us this issue continues into adulthood. Marina Muun manages to save some of her treasures whether real, intangible, or unimaginable in Collecting. 
Muun, an illustration artist, is not technically a painter yet her quiet collection depicted in Collecting speaks to the painter in me. The flat fields of opaque color remind me of our current focus in class, the Renner color studies. I have always been scared of color. Simple compositions make it feel less threatening. Even here combined in a more complex way I find peace in the distinctly separated fields.

I agree with your statement about finding peace in the distinctly separated fields of color. I also think that through the color choices she creates a somewhat dynamic piece and makes them interesting because of the contrasting colors. It is almost as if she was using the same 3-4-5 color wheel tool thing that was mentioned in class in some areas.
