the moon has always influenced me 

the past few months my paintings have been created 

during the full moon

and the blue moon

details of the above painting

i love how the metallic seems to float

my heat gun got a work out

while waiting for the first painting to cool

 i played around on a second canvas

lampbead inspiration

 awhile ago i found some wonderful lampbeads at the john bead outlet

i finally got a chance to use them

 and as always one thing leads to several more!

encaustic meltdown

it's been months since i've had a chance to paint

with no inspiration , i had to just sit and see what happens

blue is such a soothing palette and a good place to start 

using the iron and heat gun i sat , just playing around, watching the 

wax move to the heat

it was a good day, three different boards 

not sure if they are finished yet but 

they have inspired to me go a little bigger
