Finished art, painted with heated wax and other multi-media.

Doomchar Aquarium 1

One of my guilds is running a contest for an ESO-inspired piece of art. This is my first attempt, something that allowed me to practice perspective. Doomchar is a house you can own in-game. I used a greenhouse as my tableau, posed a screenshot picture, and went from there. I figured, let’s do more undersea fish art! It’s as good a reason as any to be inspired.

Among the Seaweed

The title came last.

This is a repurposed piece that had, once again, faded. Just spitballing, I added dried flowers and leaves to it, but nothing was working. It made me think of undersea life, though, and I went from there. It’s not my greatest fish piece (out of 2 so far, lol), but it was an important step and inspiration.

Undersea

I’ve begun a new thematic interest, the undersea life. For me, this is a large piece, 10″ x 15″. I’ve made a new category and I hope to add more pieces as time goes by.

Summer Hiatus, not

Now is normally when I take a break from encaustic. However, this year my art cart is in a climate controlled environment. No need to compensate for wax that stays perpetually soft.

My postings of encaustic will still be light, though, because I’m working toward an illustrated book. No worries. I promise a few more random dead flower pieces this summer. You know I can’t resist them.
