It took about 15 honest hours, stroke by circular stroke, one after the other, to make this one thing into a whole thing that I deeply love. I love encaustic because it responds to human oils and touch and spices cooked into its own medium. Running your dirty or clean or in-between fingers over the cycles of this painting is like, I guess, smelling cardamon or cinnamon or tasting pure real honey deep inside your heart, head and horns for the very first time. </p> <p>I always love smelling art that wakes me up or makes me sleepy. Touch my art. Always. Give it a good buffing. Trust the beeswax; it’s live, and it loves oil heat touch connection sex pain response recall remembrance embrace, Rub it with your digits or cotton fabric. You’ll get a holler. And it always always always smells of dark, almost rummy honey.</p> <p>Blessed be bees. </p>http://libbylynn.com/post/12680107968http://libbylynn.com/post/12680107968Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:47:22 +1200encasuticartworklibbylynntribute to beeswac<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lujeayNq5l1qc6tgwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>6x6x2” encaustic and oil and probably wine on cradled frame - circles 1</span></p>http://libbylynn.com/post/12679817355http://libbylynn.com/post/12679817355Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:32:58 +1200encausticartworklibbylynn<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luje76zagP1qc6tgwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>6x6x2” encaustic, oil and laquer (or something that smells of laquer) on cradled frame - circles 2</span></p>http://libbylynn.com/post/12679769286http://libbylynn.com/post/12679769286Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:30:42 +1200encausticartworklibbylynn<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_luje2x9Es51qc6tgwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>6x6x2” encaustic and oil on cradled frame - circles 3</span></p>http://libbylynn.com/post/12679714995http://libbylynn.com/post/12679714995Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:28:09 +1200encausticartworklibblylynn<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lujdymteHt1qc6tgwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>10x10x2” encaustic on cradled frame</span></p>http://libbylynn.com/post/12679659049http://libbylynn.com/post/12679659049Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:25:34 +1200encausticartworklibbylynn<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lujd1fLeZu1qc6tgwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>6x6x2” encaustic and oil on cradled frame.</p> <p>(whether or not this was a clever endeavor, I enjoyed the smell of honey very much.)</p>http://libbylynn.com/post/12679206118http://libbylynn.com/post/12679206118Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:05:39 +1200encausticartworklibbylynn<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lujcsjIdLA1qc6tgwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>6x6x2” acrylic, laquer, oil and encaustic on cradled frame</span></p>http://libbylynn.com/post/12679082409http://libbylynn.com/post/12679082409Sat, 12 Nov 2011 19:00:19 +1200encausticartworklibblylynnfuckthisisreallygettingsweet<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lujcnnXwRh1qc6tgwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>6x6x2” encaustic and oil on cradled frame</span></p>http://libbylynn.com/post/12679012872http://libbylynn.com/post/12679012872Sat, 12 Nov 2011 18:57:23 +1200encausticartworklibbylynnthisisgettingold<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lujbs5N1FZ1qc6tgwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>6x6x2” encaustic, paraffin, laquer and oil on cradled frame</span></p>http://libbylynn.com/post/12678549149http://libbylynn.com/post/12678549149Sat, 12 Nov 2011 18:38:29 +1200encausticartworklibbylynn<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lujbnhq8li1qc6tgwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>10x10x2” encaustic on cradled frame</span></p>http://libbylynn.com/post/12678476983http://libbylynn.com/post/12678476983Sat, 12 Nov 2011 18:35:41 +1200encausticartworklibbylynn<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lujbdm4K1l1qc6tgwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>10x10x2” acrylic, glitter and encaustic on cradled frame</span></p>http://libbylynn.com/post/12678322251http://libbylynn.com/post/12678322251Sat, 12 Nov 2011 18:29:00 +1200encausticartworklibbylynn
