Small Matter
(a story of thinking, being, knowing and not knowing in 12 parts)
A rare evening post to share these space-like-night-sky paintings. They started out as a group of soft pastel paintings but as I discussed in my last post they were just too high maintenance and messy to handle so I came up with an interesting process involving wax, which allowed me to melt the original image into the wood block. Then I covered the image with another thin layer of clear medium and pulled the 3" x 3.5"blocks together with image transfers, incising and white pigment stick. This little group came out of nowhere but with a full moon rising (technically not full until 8:01 tomorrow morning but still...) it seemed a good time to let them shine.

Gorgeousness!
Thanks Alyssa! How are you...are you still painting?!?
Was actually just aspiring to pull out the encaustic bin looking at your work.
My travel watercolor set has gotten the most use of any of my art supplies over the past year - quick and portable meets the needs of the working-mom lifestyle… but warm wax sounds good on this snowy spring day.
