Ocean series - 12 by 12

 Hallo,
   Last one in this series, this one measures 12 by 12 inches. This one started with 3 layers of plain encaustic and 2 or 3 of white encaustic wax. Next I added a layer of oil sticks.
  Follows are several layers of shellac with mica powders, pan pastels, a bit of oil stick, fusing after each layer and adding another layer of clear wax every now and then.
  I almost quit at the second picture as I really liked the way it was looking but decided to do just a bit more and am still happy with it.
  Unlike the others in this series I didn't add any ink to this one. The sides are finished off with black encaustic.
   All for now - a busy week here with work and errands and turn ins for 2 art shows.....oh and watching the hurricanes develop and which way they decide to go....
   Take Care
      Tera
