New Work Wednesday: Mapped

1/4/2012

56 Comments

 
My new painting this week is entitled Mapped.
This painting layers 2 Hawaiian maps (one vintage), encaustic (wax), text, metallic tape, Wood Icing, acrylic media and acrylic on a small stretched canvas._
Mapped by Mary C. Nasser
It’s also time to announce that I will be continuing my lofty goal I set in May...
to finish and post 1 painting a week until the end of the year!

I want to thank everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes last week, too. 
Now I'm asking that positive thoughts be sent my 10-year-old puppy's way. 
Daphne was just diagnosed yesterday with chronic bronchitis.
She's a family member that often makes it into my blog posts! 
I feel hopeful and grateful that the prognosis for treating her chronic bronchitis is good,
but any wishes sent Daphne's way would be cherished!_

Daphne had a great Christmas...especially with her candy-cane-shaped-rawhide!
_Thanks so much for visiting my blog!
Happy New Year!

I instantly fell in love with this darling little dog. I hope with all my heart that she will be controlled and have a good quality of life.

I think she would be more comfortable though if her nail were cut. Or maybe they have just come due for a clipping. It's hard on them to walk like that. Much love for both of you.

Sherrill, thank you for sending your love to us.
I instantly fell in love with Daphne, too! :)
She is already feeling better! :) No coughing in the night anymore!
Daphne and I also adore her wonderful vet, who gives her regular "pedicures and treats!"

Mary: What's with our pups? We just figured out our Bella is lactose intollerant. Hope Daphne can kick the bronchitis thing. She is so sweet with her puppy paw jacket and Christmas treat! Thx for the inspiration ... I'm going to go WRITE DOWN my goals for 2012! Keeping them in my head just doesn't work. Happy PPF on Saturday!
