Some days I like to sit and “inventory” my little collections. They inspire me in their odd withered fragile beauty. #whatilove #inspiredbynature #wabisabi #cyclesoflife #beautifuldecay #artist #rebeccastahr #inmystudio #buglove #symbolism (at Seymour Street Artist’s Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3utDkdF7DW/?igshid=2osm9sto0hfm

My score from antiquing yesterday with my son. I am looking forward to repurposing this old ledger into a sketchbook. #sketchbook #artistlife #creative #vintagelove https://www.instagram.com/p/B2_3hH_lw1z/?igshid=1akpczuyxnmpz

I love incorporating bits of discarded objects into my art. The wabisabi concept of finding beauty in the broken resonates deeply with me. 4x4 encaustic. #wabisabi #rebeccastahr #abstractartwork #encaustic #mixedmedia #foundobjects #intuitiveart #beautifuldecay #abstractartist #cyclesoflife #rusticdecor #foundobjectart #artnxtlevel2019 (at Seymour Street Artist’s Studio) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtlQQP5lF9O/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rxk2owf0l7xf

This one has been in my personal collection for a while now. It’s from a sketch in my sketchbook. The bear was a special bear and was called Blue Bear. Names were very literal back then. “Blue Bear” 6x6 Encaustic. #rebeccastahr #encaustic #sketchbookdrawing #galleryartist #artcollector #artcollection #smallworks #artnxtlevel2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/BtD29NxFk4H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jagjpwnah1sf

Another new piece from the new year. This one doesn’t have a name yet. Any ideas? The pattern was inspired from the inside of a tortoise shell I have in the studio. The organic patterns inspire me.
