Produce produce - that was the request. And here they are:
Five encaustic mixed media paintings that are all 8x10.
When I say mixed media - although they don't really look it - their starts and under paintings are begun with layers mixed with paper, fabrics and book pages: tissue, patterns and whatever interesting things I can find to put into the works.

This was a fun subject for me to paint and try and figure out a way to do it that was interesting for me as well as hopefully for others. Since I was happy how these turned out, off I went off to Whole Foods and bought another round of interesting subjects that will include egg plant, yellow beets, red pears, tri color carrots and I'm hopeful to pick up a turnip or two. They will be round two of the produce produce paintings. Happy Friday every one!
