I love how you incorperated the collage into her cloak. I hope the visualization is working for you. : D I, too, am fascinated with the world of encaustics. However, I have never had much luck working with the medium. I am sure part of it had to do with the fact I had the wrong tools and the second part is I had no idea what I was doing. I have seen some awesome work with the medium. Please keep us all posted! I am sure you will create some beautiful work with the wax. </p> Oh, this piece is just gorgous!

I can’t wait for the chill of cool mornings and evenings here. Hopefully it won’t be TOO long until we get them.

Love the piece.</p> <p>I had the same problem - no encaustic workshops around here either. My online friend bridgette told me "be prepared to create a whole lot of ugly at first" and she is right! LOL. email me and I can send you some great links to other wonderful artists who share info. I love that about this art community.</p> Oh her cloak is wonderful wonderful wonderful! Love the piece.

I just love seeing your work and hearing about your journey. Freya is a beautiful and powerful goddess. Ages ago when I used to do storytelling, she was one of the goddesses I told stories about.</p> <p>And that is a beautiful quote. I read it over and over and sat and thought about it. Thank you for sharing, as always.</p> What a beautiful piece, Leah. I just love seeing your work and hearing about your journey. Freya is a beautiful and powerful goddess.

I love how the cloak is sweeping and colorful, in contrast to the more neutral and subdued hues in the rest of the painting, and I love how the moon sort of frames her face. Lovely.</p> <p>Thanks so much for the mention of my jewelry :-). I'm glad it helped you prepare to meet with your prospective client. Any sale that comes from it, though, is strictly due to your unique and wonderful talent and presence. 'The Memory Tree' is such a beautiful piece!<br /> </p> Leah, I love this piece too!

I love the composition as my eyes move around the surface, always meeting her gaze. The cloak is so very beautiful. It is interesting (but not surprising) that your women resemble you, at least based on the picture you posted on your website. People often say that to me, and it really isn't intentional. But, as I read the Aslam quote, I thought once again how much of ourselves we project through our art. It only makes sense that figurative art ends up having much of our own image in it. Your work is very touching and lovely:></p> Leah – this is stunning! I love the composition as my eyes move around the surface, always meeting her gaze. The cloak is so very beautiful.
