Marcy Wolf-Hubbard is a very hard working and talented artist - and I say that as a lesson for young artists - not young in age necessarily, but also in "artistness." A quick visit to her website will immediately tell you that this artist busts her tuchis in showing her work, teaching art classes, doing workshops, and essentially making most of us look like lazy whiners.
And she's really, really, really good.
She describes herself as a "Visual Artist - Paintings in Encaustic & Mixed Media." And then we discover her sculptures here, and are awed by how really good and different and powerful they are!
For years I've been a big fan of her figurative work (see that here), and yet for this show I've selected a memorable encaustic work of birds.
I picked that work because it is a lesson not only in the arcane and almost magical genre of encaustic artwork, but also in composition, form factor, texture and psychological punch.
Look at it, study it, and learn from it.
