Rudolph
6x6 oil on panel, black floater frame
What a great story. I love that they turned his shiny nose (the very thing that ostracized him because it made him different), into a positive ... a strength!
(Unrelated: Does anyone have any ideas on how to turn frizzy hair into a superpower? No? Asking for a friend.)
Remember that scene where Coach Comet forbade Rudolph from joining any reindeer games? What a putz. A classic terrible high school gym teacher. Not every kid is dodgeball team material. #StopBullying
Come to think of it, Santa wasn’t much better. I think if Santa had come to me … “Karen, with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?” After years of being treated like shit for my shiny nose … I’d have been tempted to tell Santa to piss off. Just me?

Michigan J. Frog
6x6 Oil on panel, black floater frame.
Michigan J. Frog was a Merrie Melodies character. The ongoing gag was, that a talented frog gets discovered by a man who hoped to get rich. He soon learns the frog will only sing and dance in front of him, and no one else. My mom could probably relate to this guy, since even though she paid for years of piano lessons for me, I always refused to play in front of other people. Sorry mom. But also, my piano teacher was a horrible woman. (Dolores Umbridge, from "Harry Potter", was most certainly based on my piano teacher). I still have an irrational fear of Wednesday afternoons.

Miss Piggy, Zoom Call
6x6 Encaustic on panel, black floater frame.
Miss Piggy was the original diva. She’s that one girl who tried out for the lead role in the high school play, then went all Black Swan when she got it. Also, she will karate chop your face if you make a swine joke, because she is a friggin lady.
About my Muppet Series of paintings
The holidays are all about spending time with family. One thing we used to do as a family, was watch "The Muppet Show". I added the Zoom call icons at the bottom of each painting, since, for many people in 2020, Zoom calls have replaced our in-person family time.
These encaustic paintings of Muppets are reminders of family gatherings in the time of COVID.
Of course, in addition to families, many companies are using Zoom this year to hold meetings. And what would make every business meeting better? Having a Muppet Zoom-bomb your video call.
Animal, Zoom Call
6x6 Encaustic on panel, black floater frame.
Animal was like that friend in high school, who you know you shouldn't hang out with because the night always ends weird, but you hang out with him anyway.

Statler, Zoom Call
6x6 Encaustic on panel, black floater frame.
Statler is everyone's favorite grumpy old man, and the best heckler, ever. I want to be a female Statler when I grow up.
