Been Quite awhile since I have blogged anything - busy with Thanksgiving and Christmas and just painting whenever I had a chance.
Mid November the Hubby and I flew up to Fort Lee Virginia to see my daughter graduate from Quatermaster training school, and her boyfriend as well and got to meet the boyfriend for the first time.
Spent some time with friends that live close by as well which was a nice mini vaca - except for one little thing - I was walking at the airport, walking fast to get to the next gait on our way there and my knee popped and felt like someone put a knife through my kneecap.....
Knee is better but it has prompted me to look more seriously at the possibility of a knee replacement - gotta save up some PTO time first....
Next in line was Thanksgiving/Christmas week - My daughter was home and we had both Holidays in one as well as having Thanksgiving dinner at the new boyfriends Grandparents place - as they live only literally blocks from us.....
My daughter left on 28 Nov for her first military post in Vilsek Germany. She is doing well and having fun so far!!
My son will be home for Christmas!!!
And other than work,walking the pups and house cleaning there isn't too much else to tell.
So on to todays painting. I got myself an encaustic teaching video from Elizabeth Schowachert and this was a couple days playing with using her video(I did 2 paintings at once so as to allow them to cool a bit between layers - the other one I will show you tomorrow)
The pics go in order and I didn't take pictures of every step but this first one shows the texture, and the second one shows the added 'coral' and then last ones are with the 'orbs' and last touches in different views and 2 close ups.....
Its a fun process and I will be doing a few more!!!
Take Care
