Bokeh People in Wax

I personally love bokeh.

Bokeh is the out of focus areas in photography that lie outside of the depth of field.

Many photographers love to shoot bokeh in their work. You will often see bokeh as the little round circles of light that glisten in the background.  But, I have come to love the other stuff that is out of focus in the background - especially people.

 I'm taking a little break from the portraits.  I needed something that is not so tight.  I love the portraits and will continue, but I need something else too. Something for the in-between time when the wax is cooling.

Since I am so in love with bokeh people in photography, I decided to try bokeh people in wax (encaustic).
