Spring Fever


After having a taste of warmer weather and seeing the elusive sun, spring fever has got a hold of me. The birds seem to be singing louder and just now, I heard the frogs outside. I know I still have to survive March, but I'm thanking the Lord for spring bulbs that push through the cold ground to give us a glimpse of Spring!

With that spirit in mind, I created these two mixed media paintings this weekend. I added several thin layers of natural beeswax which seemed to pull all the pieces together. Also, if you recall one of my first postings with the vintage rubber stamps, I used those on the words. The tree images are from my original photography which I then used a transfer technique to incorporate them into the backgrounds. These were a lot of fun to make.

Both paintings are currently available on eBay right now. Feel free to search by K. Shigeno and folk art to find them. Enjoy!
