Encaustic Mixed Media on birch 8x6

I've realized that it appears I've gone quiet. I'm so busy painting as much as I can these days, that yes, in a way I have gone quiet. My time where I have my studio is cut in half and then that time is cut in half again... so it means, that when I can paint - I hunker down and paint as much as possible. But, even with shorter studio time, I have incorporated some very interesting new techniques that take some consideration and practice to find my way. I'm finally beginning to show a little of what I am doing with encaustic painting, shellac and alcohol inks.
I spent an incredible day in the studio of
Alicia Tormey here in Seattle. She is amazing and her techniques for shellac and alcohol ink with encaustic painting are incredible. I'm still digesting everything shellac that I learned from her late in February.
I have committed to doing a solo show for the month of September. I'm already painting for it and squirreling away a lot of surprises for it. But, I am letting a few things out.. just to create some interest.
Happy Friday Everyone!
