New Encaustics



Two new encaustic paintings: these are exciting to me as they are the first pieces I have finished successfully using this new-to-me media. The black & white is titled "Mesa Feed," it's an old feed mill (still in operation) in Grand Junction. This piece is 16x20. The other one is, as yet, untitled. It is small, 8x10 in size. I am going to try to make my own encaustic medium tomorrow--it is time consuming, toxic, and fiddly, so I've been putting it off a bit. Oh, and the raw materials are expensive to boot. Send good thoughts my way!
