IEA and These paintings were done nearly a century ago by artists who were tasked with representing the beauty of wildflowers in classic compositions on canvas. Almost a century later, our task is to widen the lens, to represent the wildflower concept in unrestricted, untraditional ways with wax as our only common bond. In a way, this is more difficult because our choices are vast, yes, we are free to go beyond the representational, to celebrate the enduring wildflowers in a new creative conversation. We invite you to share your 21st century work by responding to the call for entries for our upcoming Wax & Wildflowers juried exhibition in collaboration with the San Antonio Art League & Museum.
Whether literal, abstract, or conceptual, we look forward to seeing your wax & wildflower-inspired works!
