Ha ha ha. I promise not to torture you with any more of these for awhile but had to show the one I did yesterday. This is 12x20" and used a lot of wax, a lot of scraping and a lot of course changes. The surface is wonderful in person but impossible to capture on 'film'. I alternated opaque and transparent wax so that you are looking into the wax in some places (like looking into a tidepool) and stopping on the surface where the wax is opaque. That interests me.So I'm off to pack and do a few last minute chores. Please send up a silent prayer for a friend of mine who is having a hip replacement today. He has struggled gallantly with MS for a decade and is one of the kindest people I know. And while you're at it, send up a prayer for everyone who is frightened, hungry or alone. Let's look around and help each other out. We can transform the world into a kinder place if we choose to.
Sorry about your friend Judy, I hope she does great at the surgery :)

ReplyDeleteI dig your style lady. Artistically and personally. Sending my good energy too.
ReplyDeleteWhat incredible art work! Somehow I lost your site, but now I have found it I can't stop looking at these beautiful encaustics. I also love your writing. The mud balls on the neighbors window sill is really touching and funny... Roxanne
ReplyDeleteGorgeous series of work, Judy.
ReplyDeleteHad a busy week myself. Just call me the entertainment queen. I'm tired, off to take a nap.
T has MS so I know what that's like. And I do think one person can indeed make a difference if only in that one person's own life. Good luck and good thoughts to everyone!
ReplyDeleteAnd do keep up these "Last Gasps" of yours, LOL. Such lovely pieces here.

I think of counting days..counting, waiting...the repetition and circles along with the 5 lines underneath are such a cool contrast. This piece tells a story and is a wonderful piece to use as inspiration to write about.
ReplyDeleteLov'in it.
