Oh My Sky

Paper, Encaustic Wax and Pigments on Wood Panel 48 x 48" "The colors in this piece are drawn from the soft oranges and pinks of the sunset. When my daughter was very young, she would quietly say “oh my” in response to the beauty in the sky. That simple expression of wonder stayed with us. Before long, our whole family began referring to those moments as “Oh My” skies. This piece holds that memory—a reflection of awe, of shared language, and of the way something as fleeting as a sunset can become part of a family’s story." -Lisa Moriarty
