It is with happiness and a touch of sadness that I announce the sale of “Opal Landscape”. One of my first attempts at a large Encaustic, this was one of those “OMG moments”. That moment when you finish a piece that is one step up from all the others before. This piece , after hours of studying the opal that inspired it, finally began to reflect what I saw. My layering technique closer to what I was striving for…the colors….almost perfect! The frame came from the house of a departed friend. When Katie called me to let me know the piece had sold, I felt a pang of loss. “Did it go to a home locally?” “Are they art lovers?” ….I asked and thought, respectively. I wanted to make sure it went to a good home. Am I the only Artist that feels this? Of course not, but when its yours, you want them to love it as much as only you do.
