Seems that the last 2 months have sped by in a blur of creative experiments, teaching assignments gone awry and then recovered,  financial rollercoaster---s and here we are, showing 3 of my completed pieces that I find appealing.

Encaustic work is informing my oils these days, and when I finish my current large ( 60"x40") canvas, I will assuredly post.
 I find that the translucent layering and the scraping that hides and yet reveals,  (intrinsic  to working with melted beeswax ) is giving my oils a new level of depth.

Really strange times for me- more exposure and shows than I have ever had-- and fewer sales.  People keep saying its the economy; I wonder.....
