Memories of Spring

Half-completed before my summer hiatus, this rose piece still carries the color and intent of the earlier season. It lasted well!

And now comes my joke that I, too, am well-preserved. Today’s my 59th birthday. May your flower petals look ever fresh. Cheers!

Breaking the Encaustic Inertia

My encaustic studio is still pretty warm, but I can feel the pull to start up again. Slowly, lol. This is the corner of my display wall with the pieces I like best. As I move into the next art season I want to use these as a reminder and inspiration.

Also, we’re replacing the flooring in our house. The peace I need to evaluate an episode eluded me this week, so . . . here are some pretty pictures as a placeholder.

Veiled

Which do you prefer, white veil or blue veil? It’s my first time working three-dimensionally with cheesecloth. Lol, I might hate it. Also, if I must choose, I think the white is better. Of course, it’s too late for that and the veil is forever blue now. Hahaha!
