Scot Briscoe Artwork

Sometime you just want to do something different. Did this one for a friend of my sister. A portrait of a lost friend
“She did not seek their company — and yet, they came”
Oil, cold wax, and Japanese chiyogami paper collage on panel. 12 × 14 inches.
A Cream Legbar hen, unhurried and entirely herself, set against a luminous gold ground alive with layered pattern. The chiyogami papers don’t merely surround her — they become her, seigaiha scales and medallion florals woven into feather and form. Four butterflies orbit her world, drawn to something she isn’t even offering.

…continuing to work on this larger canvas of a Japanese flowering crabapple (Malus floribunda). This gorgeous gnarled and scruffy tree is on the edge of our driveway. It’s a flowering fruit tree and brings us these vibrant magenta blossoms every spring. Luckily it doesn’t actually bear any fruit - just the deep plum and crimson petal
I am looking forward to celebrating Spring with them again this year.
