New Atomic Bomb Paintings

I wanted to get more of my planned large series of atomic bomb paintings complete in time to apply to a local show dealing with war. I've got only 5 done now, and these last two need a little tweaking, but for now, here they are:



"Operation Bravo"
Encaustic on Plexiglas
12" x 12"



"Castle Romeo"
Encaustic on Plexiglas
9" x 12"

Publishing New Works

Vacation interrupted my rhythm of painting, and shooting pictures, and blogging...so here it is late September, and I have finally gotten the paintings I finished before vacation shot, and am just now getting them posted.

This one is a fairly fanciful voyage into creating a third piece to fit in between two of my other recent pieces to create a triptych.

"Nebulous Nebula"
Encaustic and Beeswax on Paper on Board
12" x 12"

Here's a small mockup of the triptych:



This piece is a sort of fractal enlargement of a section of my "Behind the Wall" piece; this is called "Grandma was a Stromatolite:"

Finally, this one, called "Carbonated Mountains:"
