Fantasy Images

Encaustic art offers a huge variety of effects.  These inspire the emergence of fantasy and created worlds.  Whether you put birds and a pathway into an abstract or add castles into a purple landscape, you are creating rather than copying.  In creative artwork you don't need to know what you are doing.  You just need to get started and allow 'happy accidents' and possibilities to emerge and contribute to the development of the piece.  You are interacting with the medium you use (here it is wax colour).  You do not need to dominate.  This is the opposite of careful representational painting eg. like a photograph of your face, a particular building, etc.)  To be creative you must venture into the unknown, reach out and explore, and then, when you discover, you must 'ground' your experience into something tangible.  An image others can relate to.

On the other hand, art can be any expression you choose, and whether it relates to any one other than your self is a personal choice. As you move away from "pretty pictures" and start to experience your own unique expression many changes and revelations can come into your being (in truth : your being is your art).
Anyhow, all this is manifestation and is the fruit of creativity.  You are practising the art of the creator. You create the future, so do it well.
