Oil Painting Exhibit:  Antler & Vase, Blue

Antler-Blue_oil_web.jpg



Title:
Antler & Vase, Blue

Medium:

Oil and beeswax on 100% Cotton paper

Size: 22" x 22"

Year: 2003

Image Inspiration:
Lush texture, vibrant color, beeswax & varnish create delicious layers of color. The lyrical lines of the botanicals mimic the lines of the shed horn. A shed horn is a antler that has been naturally shed by the animal. Shed horns are symbols of rejuvenation and vitality, some peoples believe that eating powdered shed horns will endow them with those qualities. I find those qualities in the flowers and leaves I've paired them with. This is part of a series of antler art that includes one painting in a main color: red, yellow, green and blue. The blue symbolizes the fluid elements of water and air.
