About Me
- Janet Amundson-Splidsboel
- Portland, Oregon, United States
- Currently I am focusing on floral, bird, and landscape encaustic painting. When I do paint the female figure I focus on painting the modern but still universal and timeless woman. I primarily paint in Encaustic, which is painting with molten, pigmented beeswax. In my encaustic works I do not use photocopies or mixed media; all details are painted with layers and lines of molten, pigmented beeswax. Contact me at janetsartstudio@gmail.com.
Again, Renoir comes to mind. She is beautiful! Her pose reminds me of some of those seen in the works of the Renaissance period but one that I don't associate with the ladies of long ago (for some reason). Such an interesting dichotomy! I am going to have to look up more information on encaustic painting; thanks for your description on the side!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the insight, I hadn't thought of this dichotomy but now that you've said it I want to explore it more. You've pointed out something which is significant and meaningful to me. Let me know what you think when you read and learn more about encaustic art.
