It's Friday, which means I'm partying with the Paint Party Friday folks. This fun weekly party is hosted by Eva and Kristin. Please take a look at what the various artists have created this week.
Also on Friday, Rebecca hosts Haiku my Heart. I urge you to visit to experience the wonderful haiku submitted by folks around the world.
For Haiku my Heart :
Painful memories.
Knowing we must work through them
as healing begins.
This haiku relates to a family member dealing with issues from the past. It hurts to see how such memories affect our loved one. We so wish the process of working through them was a faster one.
With such heavy thoughts on my mind this week, my art turned to spring colors. I tend to work with bright joyful things when I'm feeling a bit worried. I played with a few ideas, and ended up with this mixed media collage painting. It measures 4 x 4 x 3/4 inches, and includes my favorite natural beeswax. Just the smell of warm beeswax perks me up! And I love this quote!
This piece is available in my Etsy shop.
Remember to check out what the other
Paint Party Friday artists, and Haiku my Heart writers have created this week!
Thanks for stopping by!

The painting is just lovely and very spring like... and the quote really suits it...xx
I love your haiku and your new beeswax painting. The words on the canvas are a nice touch.
The only way to new happy - get through the sorrow. What a universal emotion. We can all relate.

wow, just amazing!
Lovely haiku ~ thanks, namaste, ^_^
Oh yes, painting helps in times of worrying, I love the bright flower and your haiku is comforting.
I sense that good positive vibes flow to the loved one struggling with problems through your art work and your heart. Your haiku says it is so.
Peace
Hi, I like to click on everyone's artwork to enlarge so I can really see it well. This is beautiful. How is encaustic done? Do you add paint to the wax or paint the picture and incase it in wax?
Painting is beautiful and happy ~ feel better ~ lots of healing hugs to you ~thanks, namaste, ^_^
It's a hard road, but worthwhile.
What a beautiful sentiment and a gorgeous piece of art. I love the script on this - do you hand write it?
Lovely collage, love that quote! Beautiful, thoughtful haiku! Happy PPF!
Art heals!
This is such a pretty piece.
And your haiku...so true.
♥♥♥
Helen, your peony painting is very beautiful (I have a peony in my garden that is flowering right now in exactly the way you have painted). The quote is one of my favorite ones, and as Gloria said, it goes a long way! Your haiku speaks to me as well, and I'm sorry that you have to worry about a family member. I hope that s/he will feel better and stronger soon.
Beautiful work...I love the colours and peonies are some of my favourite flowers... :)
such a gorgeous large flower!
Beautiful artwork and haiku.
And sending positive thoughts to your hurting family member.
♥♥♥
Happy PPF!!

Beautiful work!
Your work is beautiful.
I love this new piece you created!!!! it is gorgeous and I have a special place in my heart for bees!!!! and flowers....
It's beautiful, Helen. One of my favorites of all I've seen of your work. May the healing continue...
I love this lots too. I enjoy working with beeswax, but after a while I start to feel nauseous. But I certainly agree with priti above- art does heal. Hugs from London.
Ah the healing power of art!
Very sweet and bright piece! Happy PPF
