Rx: bubble baths are your friend
'Rx: bubble baths are your friend' has a background that is textured with crackle paste. Its a reminder that you can see the cracks are still there, but good things are still happening. Pain/hard times aren't the full story. We can still experience joy and growth in the midst of our challenges. ❤
ABOUT THE COLLECTION:
'Rx: bubble baths are your friend' is a part of my flower medicine collection--paintings created while I was feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, sad and hopeless about a medical condition I was experiencing in December 2024.
One day, I picked up the paintbrush and out came flowers. As I painted them, my spirits began to lift and I started to actively attempt to infuse joy and hope into my painting.
Each one is different, but they share many transparent layers of paint (many mixed with my favorite color: fluorescent magenta), paint splatters and drips, collaged on polka dots + stripes. Some have crackle paste or modeling paste; all of them have my desire to reach out to you + have you believe it will get better as well.
This flower bouquet is your medicine 😚 hang it on your wall or give it to a friend who needs it.
And the title is because I'm a bath gal. When I'm cold or tired or sad or overwhelmed, I hop into the bath. Sometimes a few times a day, if that's the kind of day I'm having 😂 YOU don't have to take a bath--but what is the thing that helps when you're feeling bad? do it.
This painting is on an 11x14" panel that is framed to be 13.5x16.5" total. It was painted with acrylic + varnished with a clear coat, and is wired on the back for hanging.
