Mod, Encaustic Painting, Combining Flavors


Dogwood
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!

    Stunning...I could see an art show with these modulars! Part of the allure would be the combinations...How fun putting those together!
    You have such a great eye!

    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.

    That tree trunk panel is sooooo amazing, but they all fit together really well.. They look very together and right so whatever you are doing I hope you keep doing a lot more of it... Simply amazing

    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

    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:)

    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.

    What a fun way to play with composition within composition. So many possibilities - and freedom in creating/recreating. Love your palette - neutral yet sooooo rich!!

    Those trees just look amazing! All the individual pieces look fantastic on their own, but I love how you put them all together.
