White Love
30″ x 30″ | Encaustic | In studio This was painted on an ampersand encaustic board, and I love working on these panels. If the wax flares into flame there is less danger of burning. Below detail photographs of the painting.
Underwater Love
20″ x 20″ | Encaustic | In studio We have had a week of rainfall with Topical Storm Debbie so I have been forced to work in the studio. This painting is a combination of oil paint and wax.
