Cyanotype and encaustic painting

Hallo,

   Time to play catch up again - first the paintings over the next couple of days and then the baskets and finally some pics of our travels the end of sept.

    If you love art and Art Festivals - next weekend there is The Mattie Kelly Art Festival in Destin Fl. I got juried in as an alternate again this year but someone backed out and I will be there this year with my own booth and my paintings. Stop by and say Hallo!!!!

  This painting is 15 by 22 inches and is framed in a black float frame (didn't get a pic after I framed it). I started with a cyanotype print and painted over it with encaustic.

  This has been a fun series for me and lots more to come!!!

   I have a cyanotype class coming up Saturday October 31st for anyone interested. The class is all day and located at HH ARTS GALLERY in Fort Walton Beach Fl.  For Details check out my Instagram page - @translucentfirefly

                                                                                    All for today - Take Care

   This basket took around 7 hours for me to make.

 You can find this sweet little basket on my Etsy shop - Translucent Firefly.

   Have a great day!!!

Pelican Pier

Hallo,

  Another pelican painting for you today. Pelicans can often be found hanging out near the piers here in NW Florida and I have a ton of photos to work with.

   I use some of my photos as an under drawing for my encaustic paintings. I paint the background first with the encaustic. I take an isolated photo printed onto tissue paper and embed it into the wax. The tissue disappears and leaves me a nice drawing to work with.

  I used hot pens with several different tips to paint the pelican and then added in the pier posts.

   The painting is 14w by 11 h and framed in a black float frame, wired and ready to hang. You can find it on my Etsy shop -( www.translucentfirefly.etsy.com ).

    Have a great day!!!
