Brand New Painting

I seemed to need to do a landscape; this one's called "Field of Artists Dreams" and combines fresh encaustic with pretty little patches of paint - little mini-paintings.

Reworked Old Into Totally New Painting

This started out as my first Cel Animata painting, then became the "Nothing But Flowers" painting (see last version below); I scraped the whole thing down today and started over; after months and months of work and 1/8" worth of wax later, I finally like it!

Today's New Painting

This is the first encaustic I've painted directly onto the plywood panel, with no intermediary watercolor paper. There is so much visual depth to this that cannot be seen on a computer monitor!

New Painting

Brand new abstraction. This feels like a new direction for me. I gotta say, I like it!

Another Reworked Encaustic

Here's another encaustic painting that started out to be something quite different, but I followed the paint over time and ended up here.

Reworking Some Encaustics

This started out as my first Cel Animata painting, but I lost contact with the original idea somewhere down the line. Then it turned into a painting of unintentional 'flowers,' but I still wasn't happy with it -- since they were unintentional 'finds' within the painting, the composition was a bit out of my control and always bothered me.

Now it's turned into something kind of crazy, and I'm not sure I'll let it live at this point, but for now, here it is; it's got some beautiful and interesting passages.
