Works in Progress
When both kids are asleep, I've been making some decent progress on new encaustic pieces, mostly to be shown at Norwescon, and possibly also at my upcoming show at Balderdash Books and Art in May, though the Balderdash show will be concentrating on the photoillustrations, particularly the Space Whimsy series (including the third installment of "Floral System" and a companion piece to "Fishy Way")
This is a quickie snapshot of the state of my worktable, including one finished, framed piece - "Seer" (Well, perhaps finished. The amazing reworkability of encaustic can be a double edged sword.)
Slightly above and to the right of Seer, that blue and green piece is the current incarnation (massively reworked) of the dragon piece in my last post.

These encaustic pieces look most interesting and beautiful. I have no idea what "encaustic is so would welcome an explantation. I have a colleague who uses liquid film on canvas plus a variety of varnishes to create very varied painterly photographs and he would be fascinated. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! Encaustic medium is beeswax (or other wax, but I prefer beeswax) combined with a hardener (I use damar resin) and sometimes pigment.
