Wake Up Laughing 2021

mixed media on paper, 91 x 91 cm

36" x36"
Watercolor and mixed media on rice paper

Wake Up Laughing is a direct call to our child-self, to the fun-loving and perhaps mischievous self who invented games, sang nonsense songs for company, and who flowed from one fun activity to the next. This painting reminds us of long summer days when we were free to be ourselves, when we found magic in a ladybug clinging to a blade of grass, and of those early morning hours when the distant call of lawnmowers awakened us from our dreams.

About Judy Aveiro

I am delighted by life’s mysteries, magic and its perfect imperfections.
My favorite way to explore these delights is by working with wax on handmade rice paper. So much of the final outcome is left to chance even after all my careful deliberation and expertise. The temperature of the wax, the humidity that day, where the pigments in my colors decide to settle more deeply into the paper as they dry, how the paper absorbs the water and wax, all of these variables and more are out of my control. This leaves me, like the viewer, surprised and mystified by the images that emerge after the wax is melted from the paper.
