Jenny Doh has made a mission of how
Art Saves and I have experienced this over and over in my own life. This past weekend reaffirmed my thinking. I spent a lot of time in the studio, playing with plaster techniques I learned in Judy and Stephanie's class. I'm getting ready for Encausticamp, so I used my 'plaster preps' as the underlayer for encaustic pieces. Here are some of the pieces:
 |
| Plaster of Paris (grid) with tar and encaustic |
 |
| Plaster of Paris (see the grayish parts), tar and encaustic |
 |
| Plaster of Paris, tar, encaustic and collage |
I want to give my profound thanks to all of you who commented or sent me personal emails. I can't tell you how much this meant to me. It was really hard for me to show the vulnerable side of myself in such a public way and I am very grateful for the love and support.
These look fantastic, Mary Beth!

You're doing a fantastic job in the class. Just thought I'd tell you so.
ReplyDeleteI love your work with encaustics. I don't have the patience to deal with it but I love looking at yours. The textures are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this new work! Not much of a stretch, since I love just about everything you do...but these really are very rich and lush looking. Thanks for sharing!
