Love Song into Harmony, Relationship between the Daffodil and Tulip, Freedom

I had so much fun at an enaustic workshop last Tuesday. I let myself just play. This one is called Love Song into Harmony.

 

Relationship between the Daffodil and Tulip (close up) mixed media encaustic on 8x10 canvas. This piece has David Richo's five elements of healthy relationships inscribed in duochrome hibiscus paint: Affection, Acknowledgement, Appreciation, Acceptance, and Allowance. It also has five silver crosses (which symbolize relationships) and white tulip petals embedded in the wax. This piece is available for purchase and would be a great gift for a friend or other significant relationship. If interested, please send me a message. Happy Spring.

 Freedom (work in progress). I was thinking about getting some new pottery tools for carving into wax and this morning I realized I have a ton of tools for block printing.This is a work in progress and very hard to photograph. The bottom looks like abalone shell.

I think I am done with this one. Beginnings 12x12 encaustic and oil pastels (with some acrylic). Available for purchase. The following words are inscribed in the wax: Hope. Love. Miracles Happen. Believe. Flow. Love is Everywhere. Dreams. Yes. Flow. Gratitude. Wonder. Beauty. Trust. Healing.

Making progress on Reclamation. 12x12 encaustic on wood panel. The colors appear darker than they actually are, but this shows the contrast of textures with wax and picks up some of the iridescent paint.
