BEACH STUDY 11

I continue to love living by and loving the beach!  The ocean is every changing, in mood, color and feel.  Always beautiful as well as powerful.  I love painting the Pacific!

ANOTHER JOURNEY


This new painting was recently completed as a commission for a family in Pennsylvania. They originally were interested in my painting Journey, but it had just previously gone into a private collection. They needed a slightly different color pallette and decided to have me create a new painting for them. Sometimes it is most challenging to try to recreate something that you did before. This was no exception! After a few false starts, it came together and I love it! I hope the new collectors will as well!

JOY

This encaustic painting is one of a series of inspirational pieces done in support of Keep A Child Alive.  25% of each painting sold goes to Keep A Child Alive.  They work primarily in Aftica and India to help stop the HIV/AIDS pandemic.  Each painting is 8"x8", framed in a black 10"x10" floater frame - ready to hang.  Each painting is $200, with $50 being donated to Keep A Child Alive.  These paintings are created using encaustic (molten beeswax with damar resin and pigment).  The encaustic is painted in layers with each layer being fused to the one below using a torch flame.  The word is transferred to the painting with carbon paper then carved...this process continues numerous times.  I then add  the word in Braille, using dots of encaustic so you can "feel" the inspiration.

CONVERSATIONS

This is a new encaustic with oil painting...I think it is another start of a new series to explore. This painting started with drawing with inktense pencils then layered medium and started adding encaustic color. After a good number of layers, I scraped back to reveal some of the original drawing, then I scribed some of the lines and rubbed in oil paint and then removed oil paint. Several more layers of encaustic and this is the result. This painting is 8"x8" on cradled panel and will be framed in a black floater frame.
