More abstract encaustic. I am starting to work a little bigger and will have some larger things to show you soon. I am planning on taking a class by R & F Encaustics in NYC September 20-23. So far I am the only person signed up....I hope some of my Everyday Matters buds will join me!

ETA: Here's another piece with some new detail shots that give a better idea of the delicious swirls of color you can get with this technique. This one is 11.5 x 10.75 x .75 on wood.

Galaxy paintings, redux

I have been getting into my studio nearly every day, working on a bunch of things at once, layers and layers and layers of hot wax encaustics and inks and oil paints and more wax.  I love the way the differently pigmented inks disperse and flow in the fusing process between layers.  The one on the bottom reminds me of Joan Miro. I will have more to put up over the next few days, I think, many are nearing completion.

This one may be my favorite encaustic piece yet.  It reminds me of star-forming galaxies.

I am reading Lisa Rankin's Encaustic Art, which is lovely and quite helpful.

I have a few more encaustic experiments completed, I hope you like them!

Among the missing......

I've been working, just not getting results I wanted to post.

Lately, I've been experimenting with encaustic painting. These two abstract pieces were a lot of fun, I'm going to do more.
