Three Shows in February


I'm super excited because my work is going to be in three shows in February. The first show is the Beaverton Visual Arts Showcase, it's a juried show. They chose my crow. I'm also going to be in a show called Mentors and Artists Who Teach, it's at George Fox University. The last show is Beyond the Demos which will be at the West Linn Library. After putting on the Scholastic show it's going to be fun to show my own work. Here are some photo's of my recent work, done during this crazy snow storm. I've got two more in the works.

Trying to solve the problem



Well I was pretty happy to have finished all three pieces considering all that was going on in my life. Yeah, yeah Ms. McBride we are all busy. I know. I'm still frustrated with the puddling on the black and white chicken. When I put the paper down the surface below was not even and I think that's what did it. I've asked for some advise from other encaustic artist that I know. I took some lame pictures of the work in my kitchen. You can see the puddling in the one that's more close up.

I'm not sure what I want to do for my next chicken painting. The compositions usually come to me in a vision or dream. Nothing yet....
