This painting and I went on quite a journey together. There was a lot of experimentation, discovery, destruction and redemption. I think we have now reached an accord.

I suppose you should all know that I have a completely different body of work from the abstract paintings I've been posting.

My approach to painting this year is to focus on quantity. I'm trying to work fast and not overthink and obsess about each painting.
I'm curious to see what will come of it.

I love it when bits of green start appearing on trees and in the ground. I've even seen some tiny wildflowers while hiking with our dogs.

Did you know that encaustic paint is made from beeswax? I melt it together with damar resin and add pigment to it.
It is my favorite medium to paint with, and it smells like honey while I'm working.

I'm exploring how color affects mood. For me, this color combination is soothing and calm. How do these colors make you feel?

"Tower of Strength." Encaustic on birch panel, 36 x 36 inches. 2024. Available.
Orange is a color that sometimes symbolizes confidence. For me, this painting has a lot to do with the inner strength involved in being in the studio, alone, and making art that is uniquely mine.

A small study completed yesterday. (I ended up staring at it for a week before realizing it wasn't finished. Ha ha)

This is a painting, since I used brushes to create it. Brushes and a blowtorch! No kidding.

One of my paintings from a solo show last spring at Aurelia Gallery Fine Art.
One of the things I love about encaustic paint is that I can really play with translucent layers of color.
