Mixed Media Ecoprint Painting "Hope" By Carol Ann Webster

Hope Mixed-media on cradle board 4x4x1.5 This 4x4 ecoprint on paper piece is a quiet celebration of what returns each spring. The image is a delicate ecoprint of tickseed flowers gathered from my garden. It rests over a weathered background where shapes of text create gentle contrast and depth.

Mounted on a 4×4×1.5 inch wood cradle board with stained sides, it's ready to hang with D-rings and coated wire.

This mixed-media piece began as a “Botanical Impression” ecoprint made with flowers from my own garden—each petal and stem leaving its unique impression on the paper through steam and pressure. The green vase is a part of the original ecoprint. I scanned the original ecoprint to preserve its natural textures and soft washes of color, then printed it on fine art paper to serve as the foundation for added hand-stitching. The embroidered details add dimension to the flower heads, offering a lovely contrast to the vase and the text background. The image is printed on a 5×7 piece of fine art paper and affixed to an 8×10 white mat with acid-free tape. Ready to frame in any standard 8×10 frame (not included). Visit my Website HERE

An Old Home Place on a Tea Bag by Carol Ann Webster Artist

An Old Home Place on a Tea Bag

My family homesteaded in Oklahoma. I’m still here. Never lived in any other state. Even though I have few memories of visiting the homestead when I was little, I like knowing that my family had the gumption to settle in a place they didn’t know much about to start a new life. The image on this tea bag isn’t that home place. But it could have been.

I imagine the set up would have been similar; the open prairie, a windmill, an outside pump for water, a clapboard house with a porch, a fence, and a bell to ring for dinner (which in my family’s case would only be my great-grampa). When I took a photo of this old home place not far from where I live, I thought of my family and knew I needed to capture that memory in my art. I see this image as testament to courage and hard work.
