​MASTERPIECES KICK***ARTWORK
​nov. 16 - jan. 26

I am honored to be part of this final group exhibition of the year at West End Gallery.   All participating artists were invited to create a MASTERPIECE! And document the process. 

I decided to paint a huge encaustic painting using embedded watercolor images and photos taken by my photographer / welder husband, Noel Sylvester.  I tore the photos, added tinted encaustic waxes to create fog and the sense of perspective.  My flying heron painting was just the same perspective as a wonderful river photograph so the overlay looks very convincing.  Hoping you will enjoy the textures and the surprise birds that are embedded there.
​
The show runs through the end of January, 2019.​

F. m. howell 2019 calendar

What a surprise to be chosen for the F. M. Howell Company calendar for 2019!  This is a yearly competition with strict requirements:  the work must be done in a traditional watercolor style, it must be in a 9 x 13 format and it must be a local Elmira area scene.  ​Since I love paddling on the Chemung River, I searched through my reference photos for a beautiful river scene.  Of course!  The Palisades!  What a beautiful stretch of the River and such a pleasure to paint!
