“L” is for Love

“L” for Love ~ Ink Drawing – © 2012 Dora Ficher

 

My favorite “L” word is: LOVE 

Searching through the web I found this post

“What Does Love Mean? See How 4-8 Year-Old Kids Describe “Love” :

http://www.thingsaboutlove.com/what-does-love-mean

Today I have 2 questions:

What does “Love” mean to you and…

What is your favorite “L” word

Dear Friends, I have exciting news! I am in the pr Dear Friends, I have exciting news! I am in the process of moving my studio from Scotts Mills Studios to Academy House in Center City, Philadelphia, just one floor away from where Heidi and I currently live. While I am eager to complete this move and create a wonderful studio and gallery space for my art, I’m will truly miss the Scotts Mills community. It has been so wonderful to be apart of such a creative, vibrant, and supportive group of artists. While at Scotts Mills, I was not only encouraged and inspired by my art colleagues, I also met folks who have since become near and dear friends. I look forward to returning to visit Scotts Mills to enjoy the amazing art, artists, and, of course, wonderful exhibitions. In the meantime, I’m packing up my things, (after eliminating and organizing- Marie Kondo would be so proud of me) to bring to my new studio just one staircase away from my home. It will be accessible to me at all hours, whenever the creative urge strikes. I’m also looking forward to offering private lessons through zoom as well as small group classes in my new space. I am eager to share my knowledge with all who would like to study encaustic painting with me. Purging is never easy or fun, but it is providing me with the opportunity to offer my work for sale to all of YOU at a substantial discount! Select pieces currently located in my studio will be sold for 50% off the list price (as shown). I’m excited to get my art out into the world and to offer this unique opportunity for people to collect some of my pieces. To find something you love to add to your art collection or to give art as a gift, check out my entire sale collection here: Moving Sale.

Happy 2020! 🎉🙌 “Water lilies” encaustic Happy 2020! 🎉🙌 “Water lilies” encaustic monotype on paper mounted on panel, 16x20. ©️Dora Ficher The encaustic monotype process requires me to surrender, use tools that often result in unpredictable outcomes, and forces me to stretch and grow as an artist. Encaustic monotypes are prints made from wax paintings transferred onto paper. The paintings are created using solid pigmented wax sticks, brushes, sponges, and other tools on the surface of a heated metal plate, a hotbox. The use of pigmented wax paint allows me to build layers of texture into my painting resulting in a color rich, complex, one-of-a-kind painting. . . . . . . . . #365dayscreatingart #draw365 #Creativity #365project #dailypainting #dailyart #artonpaper #mixedmedia #art🎨 #philadelphiartist #encaustic #artforsale #colors #lines #philadelphia #philly #paint #painting #abstract #artbizsuccess #monotype #encausticmonotype #wax #print #abstractart #onlineart #poppy #classoffering #artistsoninstagram #artist
