"These are the Moments", Original Mixed Media/Encaustic Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

These Are the Moments

“Paradise has never been about places.  It exists in moments.  In connection.  In flashes across time.” – Victoria Erickson

Seems like in this life, we get those rare and beautiful moments of just pure joy.  I was reminiscing about one of those beautiful moments when I created this painting.  I embedded a photo that I took off the coast of Oregon into the background.  I embellished it with paints and inks and added another small tree.  The background also has a portion of an old deed embedded into it along with some fabric and painted papers.  The whole piece was then finished with a layer of encaustic wax.

This painting is sold, but commissions are available.  Feel free to send me an email with any questions or comments!

Hitchcock makes an appearance.

I spent Sunday working with Karen Raus who has an amazing studio.  Karen takes amazing photographs and works in encaustics  to transform them into unique artworks. I had the pleasure of joining her in working in making 2 encaustics. I stuck with my watercolor medium as the base but added Alfred Hitchcock on the left  for one of his  quick appearances. Who can forget his signature theme song. Once it is in your head it is going to stay there for awhile.
I loved adding the collage pieces that I made from torn paper which I painted and then soaked in gold based wax. The dark spots are walnut ink. Did I mention Karen has great art supplies. A real treasure trove for an artist.
This is a 6″ by 6″ encaustic work on a 1″ deep cradle board. Looks great hanging on the wall.

This was originally intended as an "earth piece" but the wax kept telling me it wanted a moon.  So - here it is - rising moon.  This is a very textural piece with layers and layers of various colors and patterns.
