Encaustic with Cotton Boll's

This is the most recent piece I have made. I am really happy with where this piece is going. I have added cotton boll's, coffee, and tape to create this encaustic. I am excited for the landscape effect I am getting with the heavy texture on the base and the imagery growing from it. "In the Middle" is 12 x 12 on a wood panel.

More Medication Please!

This is another encaustic that I have been working on for the 12 x12 exhibition at the Amarillo Museum of Art.

This piece is very different from my others I have done in the past because I embedded a photograph into the wax. I really like the effect I got to frame the photograph. I also used string and tape to create some interest in the piece.

Potential 12 x 12 piece

I have been working on several encaustics lately with one being the piece that I submit for the 12x12 art exhibition and auction that will take place at the Amarillo Museum of Art on May 12th. In this piece I have added string, rope, and pods to create the depth and imagery of the piece. I am very happy with the results of using the natural elements. "Quiet Yet So Loud" is 12 x 12 on wood panel.

I will post pictures of the others tomorrow!
