Design Inspired by European Folk Art

Image
This flower form has been with me since 2006, and originates from my love of European folk art, embroidery and porcelain designs. I thought I would play with it a bit. Sending love, Cynthia ❤️ Additional illustrations can be viewed on my website at: www.cynthiamosser.com/illustrations #cynthiamosser #surfacedesign #folkart #embroidery #flowers  

Connected Flowers

Image
Flowers are what I call eye candy: color, shape, pattern, texture! How fun is that!? After a gray winter, color seems exciting again. Below is my play on flowers, albeit blue. Have a wonderful day. Love, Cynthia ❤️ Peruse my illustration collection at: www.cynthiamosser.com/illustrations  

My "PiP" Signature

Image
  At the top of this drawing, you'll see two leaf-like forms. In every drawing or gouache painting, I add this as my signature. I call it a "pip". It started back in the early 2010's. What is your signature? Love, Cynthia ❤️ See if you can find more pips in my explosions series at:  https://w ww.cynthiamosser.com/explosions

This piece is titled: "Spring Puff", and was created using a layering technique starting with India ink pen, acrylic paint, encaustic medium (beeswax) and oil paint. My idea, in this piece, was to create a feeling of early spring, when the colors are quite light. I adore spring. Do you?

In order to make sense of the world, we often see the whole before the parts (this is called the Gestalt Theory). For example, from afar, this could look like a raspberry. Up close, a bunch of fans? Fires? Spiky random shapes? I'll let you figure that out. What is funny, is I never intended this to look like a raspberry. It just showed up. I enjoy this. Have a great weekend, Cynthia ❤️ See more illustrations on my website at: www.cynthiamosser.com/illustrations #cynthiamosser #art #illustration #gestalt #form #berry #parts

Overlapping Doilies Again!

Image
Decorated ovals seem to be my thing as of late. It's fun to see how I can make each one different, while making a coherent composition. I would love to make a printmaking plate for each doily, and printed them in various arrangements. I"ll keep you posted on this. Love, Cynthia ❤️ Illustrations like these can be found on my website at: www.cynthiamosser.com/illustrations #cynthiamosser #illustrations #doilies #doily #overlappingovals

Have you ever been at your kitchen table, drinking your coffee and thought, "Gosh, wouldn't it be great to have a smallish oval painting full of energetic, biomorphic shapes to keep me company?" You're not going to believe this, but I just so happen to have that VERY PAINTING ready for you! It's called "Fraternal Foliage (amphibian)", size 11 x 16 in, with a clear encaustic (beeswax) overlay.
