INCREDIBLE $59 HOLIDAY SALE

THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING

$59 HOLIDAY SALE

ENCAUSTIC MIXED MEDIA

Below is a small sampling of the Encaustic Mixed Media paintings available.

Are you familiar with Encaustic?  

Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated archival beeswax. The liquid wax is applied as a final coat to my mixed media, collage stye paintings.

This is an incredibly fun type of art and one that involves scavenging the house and craft stores for three dimensional objects, paper, ribbon, ink and much much more.

"Winter Sunset", 16x24, pastel, framed under glass with triple mats.    As a child, I fantasized a Currier and Ives Christmas.  I studied Christmas cards, love the churches lit for services, sleighs, horses, snow and especially the book/poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snow Evening" by Robert Frost.  This painting represents me as a child.

CHRISTMAS 2013

First Step in Decorating

My grandson Eli and I
are going on the
ADVENTURE
of our lifetimes.

Going, doing, eating, experiencing
CHRISTMAS
as we have never before experienced it.


NORWAY


So
I planned no decorating at home
until
I just had to
even though I won't even be here

Here are my first steps
Need more red and
tons of fresh greenery



Below is a link to the most uplifting
beautiful
videos I have seen.

Enjoy

   I set goals for December to daily

 paint only from life

write that for which I was thankful

and to do something kind for another or myself 

I am doing well on the first two but not well on the last.  

I need to get out of the studio or the house and find too many excuses

it's cold

it's snowing

my head hurts

The HEART LOCKET painting is for all of you

to remember

someone you love

to hang on the Christmas tree

or frame

or display on a tabletop easel

HERE'S TO LOVING DECEMBER
