| The Guardian encaustic 12 x 18 |
We all find inspiration in different places. This painting, The Guardian, was inspired by Mama. If you follow this blog, you may remember that Mama was part of our lives in the spring of this year. Unfortunately, her little family met with an unexpected tragedy. So, I painted Mama a Guardian for her next nest.

I came across a story about a mother and a daughter that do collaborative art. The artwork they are creating as a team is really fun - which is what art is meant to be - FUN. I found this story to be a really interesting read because it highlights some of the fears that weigh artists down. Yet, as an artist and a Mom, she had to overcome.
She realized that together, they were creating something that was unique and beautiful and together the end product was way more than the parts alone. Here's the story
Awesome collaboration :D loved the astronaut beavers most (I think)
ReplyDeleteYour art is amazing at all times...
I loved reading about Mama. I loved your crow too and had to 'pin' her - hope you don't mind.

ReplyDeleteThe Guardian painting is absolutely lovely. I've never tried encaustic, but I'm seeing more and more fabulous results with it. I really like the colors on the painting--the red in the face and the blue behind, and the dark darks in the hair and bird.
ReplyDeleteYour portraits are adorable! The encaustic paintings are just fabulous! I wanted to give it a try on encaustics, but when I see your results, I don´t dare starting.

ReplyDeleteHow very beautiful, Marji! I did read the story and enjoyed it and also notice that it has 973 comments!!! I see a difference in the acrylic and the encaustic. Both are gorgeous in their own way. I love the depth you get in the encaustic.
