Quiet on the Blog, Busy in the Studio

Yes-I'm attempting to get back to weekly blog posts. While the blog has been pretty quiet, they studio has been busy. Encaustics have been the complete focus with a show coming up next month. I've been listening to my favorite pods casts, which include: Latina USA, Fresh Air and E-town. I think I'm caught up  and need some suggestions for a few new podcasts to paint by. I find that listening to spoken words puts my mind at rest and the creativity flows easier, I listen to the speaker and not my inner critic I guess.

Here a a few quick snap shots of parts of some recent paintings. Better ones will be posted when it's closer to the show.

Two paintings just neared completion this afternoon and I'm really excited by both of them.

 I've got some new formats including a couple diptychs (two piece paintings), that are on 2 square panels, also a couple narrow rectangles. The show will be in downtown Anchorage at the hip little gallery, "Octopus Ink". Stay tuned for more information as the date nears.
