!!!

Encaustic is so much fun! I really enjoy working with the wax because it is unpredictable but at the same time it feels like water color where is you don't like something you can just cover it or wash it away. I really like working on small things or doing precise organizing and to me working with thre wax has the same type of feeling. On Friday i was in the wax nook with Karen and i nfound out two thing. 1: a couple years ago the art students got to see some sort of encaustic gallery or workspace or something - which is pretty cool - and we used to use a rougher method of painting involving power. 2: everyone approaches the wax differently, wear i was focused on the image, it seemed like Karen was more interested in the shapes and colors. this i ound pretty cool that wax can be taken in all different ways so everyone piece is completely unique to them. I backed up my thought by finding some different artists work, they really are all different in what they do with the encaustic work. Here!

Also, this weekend i performed at festival of the trees and hung up my christmas light :) the weekend of the 12 and 13 i have more performances. I love the holidays :)
