Mod, Encaustic Painting, Combining Flavors

encaustic mixed media on birch 16 x 19
Modular painting seems to be catching my fancy these days.  I love combining the flavors of encaustic painting, ink drawing, printing, and both abstract and representational art.  The mixed bunch tells a nice story.  These individual paintings are glued together to create one large story panel.  While I like the random size, I'm also working on some that fit together into a regular rectangle.  I am finding the mix and match aspect of working a modular painting is really fun and giving a fresh feeling to the paintings.  Problem is, now I have lots and lots of mix and match pieces on my work table - now the trick is finding the combinations that work together. 
Happy Friday everyone!

  3. You are always coming up with new and fresh ways to create your art Marji! I love these pieces and the fact they work so well together or separately. I like the random sizing aspect.

  8. Love this modular composition! Encaustic is my true love and I think it especially lends itself to this idea so that you can work small. Lovely piece - I look forward to exploring more of your art here. Glad to have found you on PPF

  10. I love this new spin you're putting on your work Marji! Very appealing. I'm sure you'll work the other mix and match pieces just as perfectly:)

  11. This is really beautiful and a good way to use up odds and ends. I can see though if anything needs framing, a standard size would be good.
