Post Fresh Paint


Well the one and only show/festival I do each year was last weekend, fun but unsuccessful in terms of sales. I always enjoy the people and especially the kids, except for the boy that wanted to stick his hand under the heat gun to see how really hot it was. When I mentioned that I didn't think his mom would want to be taking him to the hospital today, he backed off. Ah, kids . . . I was working on encaustic and found that direct sunlight really DOES cause the wax to melt.
The image here is one of the new mixed media pieces I'm working on and infact I think I photographed it before it was completed. I have since added the words "reflective", (also the title) in goldish brown lettering along the green horizontal bar near the bottom. I guess I should remember to photograph my work when completed but BEFORE I frame them.

Encaustic Show


I was joined by 2 other local artists for our encaustic show entitled "Melted" at the Arts of Snohomish Gallery in Snohomish WA. The images here are from my landscape series including and especially my aerial landscapes which I am quite drawn to. I find that landscapes reflect how we fit into the world.

New to this

OK - so I've never been a blogger and never really been interested in reading other blogs until I saw a blog on a local artist named Bridgette Guerzon Mills which was sent to me by my art mentor and dear friend Patricia Baldwin Seggebruch. Very Inspiring.

So I dont' know if this is a big step for me or a baby step on the way to bigger and better things but here goes . . . . .
