from sea to shining sea
6"x6"
Hey you...how are you? Another long pause here on the blog but I've been posting regularly to instagram (@bethbillups). Pop X came and went and my installation was everything I wanted it to be but I'll save that for another post. One with lots of photos and some thoughts on the whole process. This piece has been hanging around the studio for quite some time but it never felt quite finished....not sure why but it just needed something, turns out it was more wax :) I painted the image using layers of cold wax and oil paint which I then carved into the surface and set it aside to dry for a few weeks months. This morning I applied three layers of clear encaustic medium and voila...it's done. I have so many cold wax paintings in the works right now and I'm really enjoying the process of playing and learning to slow down and let pieces evolve over days, weeks and months. Here's hoping you are finding time to create and savoring moments of quiet amid the chaos.
