Gold leaf collage


Hallo,
  I have a collage piece to show you this am. When I am working with my cold wax and oils and have left over paint at the end of the day I have been 'painting' it onto a piece of arches oil paper and since I had a couple filled up I decided to use them. I tore them into pieces and glued them onto a cradled board.
  The cold wax and oils would keep till the next day if I was able to paint every day but since I only get the chance to paint a couple times a week(if lucky) I decided not to totally waste the paint.
  Once dry - I added some skeleton leaves on top of the collage and then embossed some metal foil to a couple of the leaves.
  The sides are finished with brown paint - cold wax and oils.
   This piece is 8 by 10 inches.
  All for today - Take Care

Stormy sunrise


Hallo,
  I played around with a couple sunrise/sunset type pics a few weeks ago. This one is onto cradled board and is 11 by 14 inches.
  Kinda a stormy look and a bit of beach down in the corner.
  I finished off the sides in white.
  This is cold wax and oils again - haven't heated up my encaustics in awhile - takes a while to melt and the knee hasn't been too thrilled with standing or sitting on my high stool for too long just yet.....soon though.
  All for now - Take Care

Palm tree


Hallo,
  Well it has been awhile since I have posted anything but I have had a good excuse. I had a knee replacement on my left knee on 7 Jan and have been working on healing. All is going well and I will be back to the work grind in a couple weeks.
  I have a couple paintings I have been meaning to show you - done in the last few months - some in the last couple weeks between PT and naps....
   This painting is a little one - 6 by 6 inches. It is done with cold wax and oils. It was a fun little piece that I puttered around with for a couple months and am finally calling it finished. I kept looking at him and would dab a bit here and there and then look at him for another week or so.....
   All for today - will be back to show off a few more paintings in the next couple days.
        Take Care
