Sugar Sky Painting

Image
This painting is my wish, as a personal reminder, for you to have fun. When I created this mixed media layered painting (pen, acrylic paint, beeswax, oil paint), I had a whimsical, floating biological space in mind with BLUE SKY as a background. What I find so rewarding about looking at this painting (called "Sugar Sky") is the doodling in the background. (See images below). I added faces and many of my eco-rococo shapes in the background to add a layer of joy.  Buy this painting here: "SUGAR SKY," 2011 Pen, acrylic paint, beeswax, oil paint on birch panel 48 x 48 in (121cm x 121cm) $5000 https://www.cynthiamosser.com/products/original_art_products/sugar-sky-original?product_gallery=17395&product_id=1342815 If you know of anyone who loves looking through a microscope, nature and fun, I would love to share my mission with them. Message me, and we can set up a short meeting. I will learn about your life, and share mine. #cynthiamosser #sugarskypainting #mixedmedia...

Decorative Amoeba

Sometimes drawings just happen. In this case, it seems to be some sort of decorative biomorphic shape. Have a great day. Cynthia 🔴 See more biomorphic art at www.cynthiamosser.com

A story about "Fraternal Foliage (glow)"

Image
Fraternal Foliage (glow) What the Fraternal Foliage series is all about Fraternal Foliage (glow) is part of my "Fraternal Foliage" series, which I began in 2005. I love pattern and shape, and it all started with playing around in my sketchbook. I also grew up around around massive amounts of greenery in the Pacific Northwest (Portland, OR). Surrounding my house were layers of English ivy, and I was always under a canopy of by tall trees. In essence, the shapes in my painting are an abstract riff on dense leaf-like forms. Finally, I create movement by grouping, and strategically-placed bright color. The painting itself is layered: I start with a drawing in the background, then add paint, and finally beeswax (encaustic medium) as the last layer. With a metal stylus, I write into the beeswax, which creates grooves. These grooves are then filled in with burnt umber (brown) oil paint, as well as white oil paint.  See more ...
