From the SSO Open House: pottery by Celine Floyd

A table full of textured pottery sculptues and stickers. One looks like a fried egg, another like a clown face, and a bunch like dishes. Many have lots of textures that you are encouraged to touch.

From the SSO Open House: paintings by Samira El-Kassis

Two oil paintings. One of a woman in a blue silk floral bathrob standing in front of a mirrored dresser with several drawers partly open, her back is to you but you can see a small part of her face in the mirror. The second is of a woman's arms with one hand holding a knife that she stabbed between the fingers of the other hand into a tabletop.

Finished this one today. It will go to Cline House gallery after it dries and is varnished.

#botanicalart #bloomsky #invertibrate #painting #watersolubleencaustic

Water soluble encaustic painting of a cluster of ghost pipes growing out of a black background. These plants are parasitic on fungi and have no pigment. The pipes in the painting have blue and pink shadows because that's what I saw in the field. A bumblebee hovers nearby because these are flowers, bees polinate them.
