More of my doily obsession. When you see a doily, what does it remind you of? Cynthia ❤️ See more illustrations at: www.cynthiamosser.com/illustrations  

In the 2000's, there was this beautiful design store in NW Portland called Relish. I adored the colors, objects and fabrics, so much so that I made a painting inspired by the very place. Although Relish no longer exists, this painting still does. Love, Cynthia ❤️ "Swim Puff (relish)" India ink pen, acrylic paint, encaustic medium, oil paint on birch board 14 x 22 in $1300 See it here on my website: http://tiny.cc/swim_puff_relish  

I am going to go out on a limb and say that everyone has a favorite shape. Round, rectilinear, trapezoid. My favorite shape is an oval, like an egg, which reminds me of the idea life or potential. The question is why. This drawing is a riff on "Puff Paradise", which also incorporates ovals (and swirls). Let me know your favorite shape!

Christmas is around the corner, and the only connection this piece has to it are the colors. Red and green, which are complementary colors, intensify each other when they are near each other. Even though I didn't have Christmas in mind when I created it (actually, succulents), I chose these colors to create a fun combination of bright and dark.

If you were a shape, what would you be? I would definitely be an oval, and even better, an asymmetrical one. Love, Cynthia ❤️ See even more ovals at: www.cynthiamosser.com
