http://robinsamiljan.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 7, 2015. Love and other things. 14" x 11" mixed media encaustic. Clearly, my creative inspiration comes from events in life that I see and feel. My son was married in April and since then I have been inspired to re-create artistic vignettes from the wedding weekend, somewhat unusual since landscape is my usual passion. This is the second painting (you can see my bridesmaids painting here. Approaching Michigan Ave.". 30" x 30" mixed media encaustic. In my booth I will also be highlighting oth...

Robin Samiljan Art Blog: December 2014
http://robinsamiljan.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 30, 2014. New Year, New Series to follow. Mixed media encaustic on 300 lb. Arches paper. Mounted and floated in a 10" x 10" shadowbox frame. Recently when I visited a Gothic church in Chicago, I couldn't help but reminesce college days, spending hours in the dark basement of the art history building, studying the slide trays for upcoming exams, memorizing the details of historic religious art pieces throughout time. Boy, technology sure has changed the way we learn! This series of 15 wa...

Robin Samiljan Art Blog: Flowering Creativity
http://robinsamiljan.blogspot.com/2015/03/flowering-creativity.html
Monday, March 16, 2015. 10" x 8" mixed media on cradled panel. 8" x 10" mixed media on cradled panel. Each week I teach an encaustic painting class at the North Shore Art League. The class size is kept small (mainly because of electrical requirements; griddles and heat guns are essential for each student) and we have been able to cover a wide range of techniques. I feel fortunate that the women in my class are self motivated, wildly creative, and supportive. Once the paper was mounted and secure, I was a...

Wednesday, February 18, 2015. Today in Chicago the high temperature is predicted to teeter between 0 to 5 degrees F. Wind chills are predicted to be around 30 below F tonight! This frigid weather spell has guided my inspiration into mild summer breezes and wonderfully meditative places from my past. 8" x 8" mixed media encaustic on panel. 8" x 10" mixed media encaustic on panel.

Robin Samiljan Art Blog: Waves
http://robinsamiljan.blogspot.com/2015/03/waves.html
Sunday, March 29, 2015. 11" x 14" mixed media on panel. Below is the older version of "Wavy", above is the reworked final version. Most notable change: shades of blue, the addition of a shellac burn, and linear textures. I wanted to create a more impressionistic, recognizable seascape. I decided to share with my weekly encaustic class at NSAL. And I am sharing the poem I have coupled with this image. As the book progresses and is completed, I will share more. Tide Rises the Tide Falls. Darkness settles o...

Saturday, May 16, 2015. Summer Festivals on the Horizon. My first art festival is less than a month away and this is the time when I stop making new works and focus on presentation (framing and wiring), pricing, and determine what will be going to each show. I have to admit, I have had a productive year with lots of choices; I must narrow down what to bring! First show, Wells Street Art Festival. 10" x 8" encaustic on panel. Thursday, May 7, 2015. 12" x 12" encaustic mixed media on cradled birch panel.

Sunday, April 19, 2015. Mixing Media, Shellac and Encaustic. The Spring session has begun at the North Shore Art League. And I am teaching encaustic painting twice a week. Both classes are full and I am starting to feel like I am finally finding my niche since moving to the midwest (Chicago). and it's only taken 2 years! 12" x 12" mixed media on panel. The older piece was part of a series of cave inspired works that were influenced by the Lascaux Cave Paintings. Deer and Buffalo Roaming". I plan on reviv...
