passage of time, encaustic, 12×12 inches
So you wouldn’t believe it, but this encaustic painting started out with a beautiful black and white photocopy transfer of a nest. It was a perfect transfer, I was so happy with it. But as I started working on the piece, it just wasn’t working for me at all.
And although I was kind of bummed about wasting a perfect transfer, I am so happier with the fern in its place. Sometimes it’s better for me not to force something that just doesn’t belong. The lesson is knowing when to let expectations go.
YOUR BLOG JUST MADE ME GO DOWN AND GET A CUP OF COFFEE TO SPEND SOME TIME. NICE BLOG,WONDERFUL ART.
