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

Hydrangea Bees

Hallo,

  Another flower and bee painting. It is 15 by 22 inches and framed in a black float frame.

 I started with a cyanotype print. I glued it to a cradled wood panel and added several layers of encaustic. Then I painted the hydrangeas and the other flowers with encaustic using my hot pen. I added the honeycomb with a stencil and modified it a bit and added some oil stick.

  I am enjoying this series... a couple more to do yet....

   Take Care

Garden Sanctuary

Hallo,

  Finished off another one in my Bee series this last weekend. This one is 15 by 22 inches in a black float frame.

  I started with a cyanotype using flowers and weeds from my yard and garden onto watercolor paper. 

  I then glued it to a cradled wood panel and added several layers of encaustic medium. I colored some of it in with pan pastels and then decided to paint them with encaustic instead. I added some ferns using a stencil and then added the honeycomb/beeswax with a stencil also.

  The bees were done with a hot pen with a very fine tip - from a photo printed onto tissue paper to use as an under drawing.

  I added a few touches of pan pastels on top of the honeycomb.

This one will go to a couple shows and be available on my Etsy shop in the early fall.

   Have  great week!!!

Bees in the flower beds

Hallo,

  Another in my 'Bees' series finished off this weekend. This painting is 11 by 14 inches. 

  I started this painting with a cyanotype print and mounted it to a cradled panel. I then painted it with encaustic - the flowers I used pan pastels on.

  The bees were taken from photos and printed onto tissue paper to use as an under drawing and then I painted them with encaustic using a fine tip hot pen.

  I am debating putting this one in a float frame but for now the sides are painted black.

   Have a great week!!!

Bee Buzz II to VI

Hallo,

  Finished off a few paintings in the studio today, including these 10 by 10 inch hexagon panels.

   These paintings all started off as cyanotype prints  which I mounted to the cradled panel. I then painted them with encaustic wax and used a bit of pan pastels also.

  There are 6 in this little series now with some bigger - regular shaped panels yet to come.

   Take Care

Bee buzz I

Hallo,

  Starting a new small series with this painting. I used a cyanotype print (didn't color the flowers in). I then glued the print to a hexagon board panel and painted with encaustic. 

  I painted the bees with encaustic also, using a fine tip hot pen. I then added some color to the flowers around the bees with pan pastels.

  Look for a few more of these to come.

  Take Care
