Sorry for the lack of posts this month. It isn't that I have been remiss in posting, rather, this big, bad hurricane named Ike decided to make its way through Houston. We're 70 miles inland, and we lost power on the 13th. Today is the first day that we have actually had it back. So, I apologize for not being more current and up-to-date. Also, because of the lack of power, I haven't been able to produce any work. Encaustic requires power for your hot plate or heat gun. So I will be doing a lot, and will be posting lots of new work! Hope you all are doing well, and I'm definitely glad to be back.

I had so much fun with this piece! The inspiration for it came from a single study that I did a while ago, also called Spring Bouquet. I just loved the color combinations of that one piece. Unfortunately, I didn't have more of that specific type of panel with me (it is a 1/4" deep box, so no framing needed!) when I wanted to create a large version of it, so I started from scratch! I love the colors, and they can really bring vibrancy to any home or office.

What an appropriate title to the post today, when I think about it. Last week, I found out from the Daily Painter website that I had not been accepted this go around. After much deliberation and after I did some self-reflection, I decided that it was for the best right at the moment. I leave on Friday to go out of town for two weeks to get MARRIED. If I had just been accepted to the website, I would be stressed out about trying to post things when I should be focusing on the next two weeks of my life.

But. Just because I was not accepted does not mean that I have given up by any means. The more I thought about their response and rejection email, the more I realized that I definitely need to apply again. I think the thing that hurt me the most was my two month hiatus from posting while I was out of the country and worried about wedding details. So, I am going to be almost religious in my fervor to post regularly and to paint ALL the time. This is especially helped because I have to produce a LOT of work in the next few months to begin applying to festivals and to get ready for White Linen Nights on Aug. 2nd.

Daily Painters, you have not seen the last of Shelby Crutchley, and when she applies again in August, you are going to be BLOWN AWAY by the amount of quality, beautiful work she has done, and how faithful she is being to posting on her blog.

Okay, that's it for today, Ciao!

These works are so much fun to do. And this one especially with the little "shock" of coral in there with the blues. Just think of how much spunk and color you can add to your home or office with a painting like this. Forget the throw pillows, add some art!

I finished this piece yesterday afternoon, and just got it up on Etsy. I had a lot of fun really trying to work in some different colors, like the coral hues, and the neutral greens. I really think this piece has some beautiful colors in it.

First Saturday was a lot of fun. I talked to the manager, and I will be able to have a booth for White Linen Nights on August 2nd. Come look for me there!

Waxed

I am... exhausted... working a double yesterday totally killed me, and now I'm getting ready for another one today...

Would much rather be home, but unfortunately I can't just not show up. So close to being able to paint full-time :) I can't wait!

I just sold OCEAN DREAMS (below) one of my favorite ones that I've done recently. What can I say, they're my colors!

I had SOOO much fun with this. Shouldn't be legal. The inspiration came from a vintage print that had a peachy-orange background and aqua, lime green, and brown paisley print. So amazing. If I had tried to do anything with these colors in oil, I would have probably made a mess out of it, but I think they turned out beautifully. The next two days of posting are going to be awesome!
