I just ordered a bunch of wax for encaustic painting. I need to sell some art, quick like.

Here are two new encaustic paintings. They are both about 18x18 inches. I did one yesterday and one today. Both have dyed, rusted, or sewn layers of fabric.

Saw a very cute opera production of Cinderella today at UNCW.

Garden in Progress

So far the Japanese Maple is in place and the three tiered rock fountain is finished. We built it ourselves!! I still can't believe it works ha ha.

This is what I've been working on these last few days. This is the front of the house. There will be a stone fountain and a Japanese maple later this week. It was completely flat ground at first and then we added a truck load of stone and another truckload of dirt.

What a mess! I forgot how fun slithering through mud trenches can be.

Cells

Thursday, April 12, 2012

This is my newest installation titled "Cells". It's about 12 feet wide, 4 feet tall, and 4-5 inches deep. The materials are gut, wire, and paper. The piece was visually inspired by bee cells and conceptually inspired by the idea of new beginnings.

Enchanted Garden

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

I've been working on my vegetable garden today. Just laying stone and designing the shape. Whew! I'm tired. But this does look pretty.

Serve

Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve.... You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
