Here’s one of the paintings from my new encaustic mixed media series “Perception” which features vibrant colors and the intaglio technique. It is currently hanging at Wired Cafe in Rockford, IL.

Below are some of my recent encaustic mixed media paintings – all done on birch panels that Troy braced. You can view more in the gallery. These paintings and several others will be hanging at the Wired Cafe in Rockford, IL for the whole month of March. If you live in the area, I’d love it if you can come check it out.
sitting underneath a low shady tree,
amidst the rocky shore;
listening to the lapping of the waves,
watching the birds fly by;
hoping the breeze would blow my woes away
and transport me to a better place.

For my third encaustic painting, I actually had to scrape the board clean twice because I wasn’t liking where the artwork was going – a testament to how forgiving encaustics can be! Gotta love that! Of course, while I was working on this, I was getting frustrated – calling out to my muse and thinking she went on vacation that night without notice! lol! But all is forgiven since I’m happy with how it turned out!)
