I made these little encaustic bonbons a while ago. Now they’re all wrapped up and ready for delivery to their new home. Each one is maybe almost 2 x 2 inches, encaustic on panel. You can see a larger pic of them altogether after the jump. Read more »

Cells 3
encaustic on panel
10 x 10 inches
I finished this yesterday and photographed it this morning. It’s the newest painting in a series I call “Cells”. The series description from my website:
“One basic shape, repeated as many times as fits on a single support, is allowed to vary in size, color and shape. The changes in each cell both force changes in and accomodate for changes in surrounding cells. The overall pattern is enriched by the variation. This is interesting to me both as a vehicle for formal concerns and as a metaphor.“

encaustic on panel
about 8.75 x 4 inches
since it’s been freezing here lately and i rely on two little space heaters to warm my studio, i’ve decided now is a good time to concentrate on working with hot wax. as long as the temp stays so low that i can see my breath when i go in to turn the heaters on in the morning, you can expect to see more new encaustic works (and probably little else) from me.

i just realized i didn’t watched a single xmas movie this season. no Burl Ives crooning silver and gold, no Bing and Rosemary dreaming of a white xmas, nothing. this may have to be remedied by hunting down a copy of that awesome kids special with the Snow Miser and Heat Miser characters.*
in keeping with the holiday tendency toward all things sparkle-y shiny and ornate, here’s a little piece of gold-sprinkled art.
