origin of life
Ferns, for me, symbolize a timelessness. Ancient, primordial life. Ferns speak to me with their simple form, geometry of shape, fragile strength. They echo eternity and history. Ancient life. Survival. Shelter.
This piece is tentatively titled right now. I may change it later. Sometimes I know exactly what the titles are…and other times I find it hard to name a piece. Speaking of titles, I finally came up with a title for my show this fall: “Expecting: explorations in mixed media”. Very excited. And now with the title out of the way, I can just keep on keeping on.
Coincidentally I just saw that Inspire Me Thursday‘s prompt for this week is foliage. I thought I would submit this since I just finished this piece.
I love it - concept, design and colours! Beautiful!
Beautiful and intriguing! What does "encaustic" mean?
thank you both!
carra- encaustic is painting with hot wax + pigment.

I found you through Vivien's place and DANG, that girl has good taste I LOVE your work. I'll be back again!!
Leave it tilted. It works better that way...nothing is ever perfect and it helps to live in the moment when you can keep sight of the fact that life is never perfect.
Love this one, it's incredible. ::bookmarks blog::
