| this is one of my latest encaustic art pieces..... called FLY |
 |
my photos and imagery, old sewing patterns, papers and stenciled letters..... all lusciously layered with encaustic wax on and old wooden box. |
 |
| we are flying the coop.... mr. dan is treating me and all of our adult children (ages 28, 31 and 32) to a trip to the beach... yunno how i love being near the water! we have not been together, for a family vacation in years...... due to (of course) jobs, distance, life, etc.... so... we have been counting down the days and we are all so very excited to spend a week at the beach together! and FLY we will. be well my friends, erin p.s. i have taken a leap of faith....good grief, i am becoming brave..... and jumped into the world of "giclee" printing...this is high quality archival printing of some of my paintings...in order to make my art more affordable than the "original". p.p.s. when i get back from the beach, these prints should be ready for my preview.....and fingers crossed.... i hope to be able to offer some of these prints for you in my new etsy shop. p.p.p.s. mr. dan is almost done with his training.... almost. |
It's really unique and beautiful. I love the satiny look of the wax and the feather inside the box adds a perfect touch, and a nice surprise as well. I could certainly find many uses for such a box as this! ENJOY YOUR TRIP!
ReplyDeleteA really beautiful box! Have a nice time at the sea.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS AS EVER ERIN! Have fun at the beach - we will miss your posts. And I believe in jumping into new things. Why not? Life isn't that long to just do nothing! Anita

Just amazing. I want to look at it and touch it... beautiful. I want to learn more about encaustic art. And, so curious to hear how the whole giclee print thing goes. I'd love to talk to you about it some more...
ReplyDeleteCindy

ReplyDeleteCindy

ReplyDeleteso anyhoot happy days belated and the box is delightful. giclee!!! yay maybe some day I can afford one of those. you know I have coveted your paintings for years
Good morning dear erin! How wonderful to see your sweet note this morning! Oh my friend, art as you know, is a calling, isnt' it? I hope you are still painting your out-of-this-world horses because your art moves my heart. I am now embarking on a deeper discovery of how to write poetry, and the caliber of poetry I encountered this summer in a class here in town just challenged me. It requires so much time and that means I have to change how my time is spent, but now with a new job calling my attention, I'm finding it even more difficult to write! The workshops at our home are exciting, as members of our last class are coming to the house, and hopefully others who are part of the writing community will also come.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you erin, you are a great artist! Anita
It is so nice to meet you Erin! Z has talked about you several times in our conversations. I would love to meet you. I will be in the big tent on one of the corner ends, not sure which end. See you soon!

Hi Erin!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you, Z has sent me and I am so glad she did, I love your artwork. I've enjoyed looking through your blog this morning and look forward to meeting you at the show. We will be in the big tent in the middle somewhere, I will be under Vintage Living.
Wishing you a lovely day
Blessings

Thought I'd pay a visit to some old friends and see how they are doing. I took a peek through some of your recent posts and it looks like you're up to your same old tricks, which I'm happy to see. Your art and your photography never disappoint and super congrats on being published. I'm sure your new art adventure will be a big success.
ReplyDeleteDear Erin,
ReplyDeleteWhat a joy it was to see your comment.. Thank you so much! I am so happy you enjoyed Lilly.
Your visits truly warm my heart.
Have a wonderful evening,

Gorgeous again! You are so inspiring to us all.

Wow, I guess I haven't visited for awhile. But I have seen the fun you had at the beach. What precious memories you're making. I love the FLY box you've made. I wish I could touch it. I'm also excited to see you taking a new direction with prints. I'm sure they'll fly out of your shop.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Karen
