Are you near Woodstock, IL (you know, the place where the movie Groundhog Day was filmed?) This is a diptych that is in the Seeing Double Exhibit at the Woodstock Old County Courthouse. They have 3 rooms with exhibits in them and their hours are Thursday – Sunday from 11am to 5pm. Wear a mask, social distance, and enjoy some unique art by local artists!
A diptych is two works that are very closely related to each other or created together. My pieces are 6×12 and are for sale for $150 each.
The work is done is encaustics, mica powder, and pan pastels.
These hydrangea leaves were taken from my backyard. I don’t know if you have any in your yard, but they sure are finicky! We don’t get any flowers on our plants. We googled it and found out if your soil is off, the flowers won’t grow. So we tested our soil and sure enough, it was too acidic. We added something to the soil that was supposed to help. We have 3 large plants. The smallest one finally had 2 flowers on it!! We were so excited! But why didn’t the other plants have flowers?? Back to google…I came across something that said if your plants are in shade, you might never have flowers. That’s what I have decided is the case for us! Too much shade!
In the meantime, we have these huge, beautiful plants growing these big beautiful leaves!
