Works in Progress

I'm not sure I'm ready to call any of these finished yet. First up is another attempt at Moonlight Madness. I think it's more madness than moonlight, and still am pondering whether to just scrap it and start over.

El Niño Canyons, Aerial View

16 x 16 inches, Encaustic and Oil.

Wood Sprite

12 x 12 inches, Encaustic and Oil

Seahorse at Play

12 x 12 Inches, Encaustic and Oil

The Lady in the Lake

12 x 12 inches, Encaustic and Oil

Water Nymph

12 x 12 inches, Encaustic and Oil

Fire on Ice

12 x 12 inches, Encaustic

Many of these were inspired by the colors and gemstones of the southwest, and I had originally planned to do something with more metallic influence. I'm still debating that one.

What a month!

I'm very excited to say that my piece "X Marks the Spot" shown in the post below was invited to a juried show, "The Art of No" to be held in September at Diablo Valley College in Concord. And my piece "Global Warming" was juried into a show at Las Laguna Gallery, Laguna Beach, which is ongoing through the end of the month. I've been framing and shipping and getting ready for a sale and show next weekend at a charity event.

I've also been painting. I have a few new things to show you. I am not sure about my current efforts. The first we shall call "Homage to Captain Planet: Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Heart." Then there is "Southwest Gold." And the final two I have not named yet, still trying to decide if they are done or if I will even keep them, or just scrape off the panels and start over. I was trying to go for a theme of "Moonlight Madness."
