"Remember Me............" --- Encaustic on Glass

"Remember Me....."
by Sabine Miner
 
8x10 Encaustic on Glass
NFS
 
 
 
I never forget the day I created
"Remember Me......"
I didn't have a canvas
or carton to paint on...
but there was an 8x10 inch
piece of plexiglass........
I had the urge to paint something -
so I heated up my little iron -
melted some wax on it -
red ofcourse -
and applied it to the backside of the glass -
I executed intuitively some pedal style strokes -
I couldn't waite to turn the glass over....
Wow
I liked what I saw -
the element of surprise...
a beautiful blossom -
with vigor and excitement I finished the foliage,
added a few more strokes -
and voila.....
This was my christmas presence to my son -
so he will: Remember Me........

I never forget the day I created this painting -
no canvas, no carton, - so why not try encaustic on glass -
I melted some pigmented beeswax on a small travel iron and
applied the wax to the backside of the glass -
Red ofcourse - I made some intuitive pedal strokes -
thinking reverse ofcourse -
I was really excite to see the result when I turned it over -
there was nothing ..... I wanted to change -
and added a couple of little strokes her and there......
A very beautiful little floral - if I say so myself --
I am thinking of maybe making prints from this image...
With much vigor and excitement I finished the foliage
and added a few more details....
 
I gave this little treasure to one of my sons -
so he will always Remember ME.........

Passion for Polymerclay .......

Lately I have become quite passionate about polymerclay -
I love to sit - in the sun whenever possible -
 and massage and knead and roll the clay with just my fingers -
 letting my mind wander all the while -
 not knowning what might develope -
 
I was quite pleased with this small piece of wearable art and listed it in my Etsy shop -

The Story of "Old Ugly"

Salmon and Jazz Event at Philomath Boy Scout lodge april 20th 2013 -

"don't you want to donate a painting to the Philomath Rotary auction event?"
 my hubby greeted me this morning ----
"what ? it's that time of year again?" ---
 so I scrambled around the studio ---
 I got some really nice paintings collecting......
 but I also have some... well not so wonderful ones - and what to do with them?
I lovingly call them "my Uglies" --------
So I picked one from a few years ago (it was beautiful then - in my eyes, anyway) --
but things always change, naturally I got better at what I am doing now - sooooo..............
I got out the little travel iron, retrieved the hotgun, turned on the heat lamp,
got plenty of papertowels and got to work
--- wax on - wax off......
that is what it is all about in the way I paint! ----
This Ugly was way to busy --- so I started wiping off -
the more I wiped, the better I liked it.....---
I got so excited about what was happening -
the painting evolved all by itself, really I am not kidding -
just a few more little touches with my trusty little travel iron and the painting spoke to me:
"stop, no more, I am done!"
wow I actually broke out into a nervous sweat..........
then it dawned on me - dangit, I should have taken a picture of old Ugly!!!!
too late now no one will ever know, but me! -----
So now old Ugly was one of my favorites....
too good to have auctioned off???? I wondered -
Heck no, I will just make another one...
and it will hopefully be as nice or even better!
 So I took the now New Beauty to my excercise class for critique ----
 Everyone loved my story and thought New Beauty was beautiful -
 My friends helped me title it: "A Magical Place"
 Then I took it to the Citizen Bank to the Auction commitee - lots of Ahhhs and Ohhs
 New Beauty got an honorable place at the receptionist's desk - at least for a few hours!
 I hope Old Ugly is living happily ever after..............in New Beauty's heart!
I hope "A Magical Place" will find a good home.....
 and hopefully make a few $$$ for Philomath Rotary Club........................ the end!??
Oh, can you see the sparkly gold leaf????
