Heart Weekend
I will be exhibiting my newest encaustic heart paintings at the Fayetteville Free Library during the month of February 2027.
There are twenty-four paintings in this series but I decided that I needed to create a dozen more in order to properly fill the space. The supplies arrived yesterday. I started working on them today.
They are 5″ x 7″ encaustic & collage hardboards that will be mounted onto 9″ x 12″ chalkboards. I started by layering four coats of damar resin infused beeswax onto the boards then carving out the design.
I added the origami and mulberry papers today too. I’ll begin the painting element tomorrow (update; above).. Then paint the 9″ x 12″ boards with black chalkboard paint. I still need to purchase the frames so that they will match the finished paintings.
I love when a plan comes together!
