Follow the Sun

Encaustic painting offers the perfect opportunity for control freaks like myself to let go.


Follow the Sun - Encaustic on cradled board - 11x14


As I learn more about ways to control the medium, I also find myself working out ways to to let the paint do what it wants to do to take advantage of its special qualities.  If I want a painting with perfect control, I can use my acrylics or oils.  I want something different from my encaustic paintings.

    I love your work. I've only done encaustic work once, but this makes me want to do it again soon!
