It's been so cold here lately, I've decided to play with fire! Well, actually a blow torch and wax. I had some wooden cradled boards made and then made a plan of attack. My goal was to create large, simple abstracts that look more like wood than paintings. hmmm. Some did, others looked more like big blankets. I'm OK with that because for me encaustics (painting with a hot beeswax and resin with oil pigments) is all about letting go of expectations. Let's face it, you really can't have too many (expectations about the final outcome, that is) when your blowing hot wax around with a torch!
So, here are a couple my creations. Let me know what you think! And in the meantime, have a grand day!
