On Friday night, I went to the spring art reception at the Everson Museum of Art (401 Harrison Street, Syracuse, New York 13202).  While in the Robineau Gallery, I had a fully developed vision of an art exhibition of my own in that space.  It was this strong realization that all of my various encaustic and collage series are creating a kingdom.

There are the houses, the landscape of trees and flowers, the fans, the crowns…and so I went home with the clear idea for my next series:  heraldic shields.

You can see the progression here.  I’ve been working on them all weekend and I am almost finished.  I feel like they have always existed and I just pulled them out of the ether, the way I will manifest that dream art show.

I feel incredibly content.  I will finish them in the next few days.  There are twenty-four encaustic & collage paintings – 6″ x 8″ that will be mounted on 8″ x 10″ cradled hardboard and framed.

Then I will title them and photograph them.

And possibly make more.  🙂
