Paintings in a Day

Well two paintings in a day. Even though it's amazing outside, I really wanted to work in the studio. So I did! I created both of these paintings today. Felt good to just crank something out. Just creating for the sake of creating. They are not perfect but met the needs I had today.

Scholastic is over - back to being an artist

I've managed to find a little more time now that Scholastic is over to create some art. Good thing, I need to have three pieces ready by Feb 1st to enter into the LO Festival of the Arts juried show. This years special exhibit will be encaustic art. Very exciting. So, I have two pieces I know I'm going to enter and I really want to finish this one. I work on it a bit this weekend and like the direction it's going, just need to work out a few kinks. Really enjoying the positive/negative play with the wax. Any thoughts or suggestions?
