Swampy Meadow
Happy Earth Day! Someone please tell me the proper word for the habitat that is kinda swampy but has loads of beautiful flowers. ”Swampy Meadow” can’t be a real thing but I have a horrible feeling the word I’m looking for might be “bog”. Its not bog is it?
I think you could call that a marshland, but swampy meadow is acceptable because of the describing word swampy, I actually like it already. Btw, your post is great, very energized primary colors, i should say! The sky is deep blue–so very spring-like but nearing summer. I like the blue melting into yellow with the green grass shadow effect, and the yellow blending with the red for the brownish red reed grass. And yes, Happy Earth Day too!
Awesome details!, I like how the way you rendered the sky, is this water colour?
Thank you very much! Not watercolour, this is done using melted coloured wax
Well, I didn’t expect that, hehe, I really thought it was done with a watercolor. Awesome medium, is there also a wash technique in there? Really curious on how you achieved the rendering of the sky.
The wax equivalent of a wash! You drag a “painting iron” covered in the coloured wax across in a sweeping motion. The results are kinda unpredictable, but that makes it fun
Ah, sounds fun to do. was browsing at of your works and looks like you perfected it. Great Job!
“”Swampy Meadow” can’t be a real thing but I have a horrible feeling the word I’m looking for might be “bog”. Its not bog is it?”
Well, there is “mire” or “morass”. Or even “bottoms”, although that might be nearly as unfortunate as “bog”.

Or quagmire! I had forgotten about that wonderful word!
Always reminds me of the Baskervilles’ hound.
Possibly Marshland? I think this is one of my faves I’ve seen ooffie
Marshland might be it. Really glad you like this one
I’ll have to send you one of these wax paintings sometime!
promises promises
Oh ye of little faith! :p
WLD, swampy meadow is just OK, it’s what came to you. Very active artwork, not at all swampy, good control of colour.
Thanks for the comment
