Sea Turtles encaustic painting

 Hallo,
   Sea turtles swim in this lovely ocean painting. Many layers of translucent wax along with pan pastels, shellac, mica powders, and a bit of oil stick combines into an ocean scene with an amazing amount of depth.
  I am truly loving my enacaustic with pan pastels  lately. Each turtle is added in at a different layer of the painting.
  12 by 12 inches and 1 inch deep.
  Have a great day!!!

Ocean redo

Hallo,
   Remember this painting?? Well I got it back from a show in Pensacola and even though I loved it, I felt like it 'needed' a bit of something...
  Well I played with a bit and a few little jellyfish came over to swim.
I love it even more now!!!!
  12 by 12 by 1. Encaustic wax, pan pastels, oil sticks, mica powders, and shellac.

Zentangle mandalas

Hallo,
   Showing some zentangle pieces that I did as samples for my 'Colorful Zentangled Mandalas' class for our all volunteer group  here in town. All the teachers and admin are volunteers and the fees for classes are very low, just to cover admin costs and for some of the classes a fee for class supplies.
   These samples are a base pattern of a mandala from a set of books by Ben Kwok - then you fill in the mandala with zentangle patterns.
   Next I colored them either with watercolors or pencils.
   The first 2 pics are the same mandala and patterns - first one before coloring and the second one after watercoloring.
  The third picture is the same base mandala as the first with different tangles, also colored with watercolor.
  The last 2 pics are before and after with a different mandala and patterns and then after colored in with colored pencils.
     The books by Ben Kwok are available on Amazon and he has a bunch - mandalas and several books with all kinds of animals and one or 2 with different objects.
   All for today - Take Care

Stasis in motion

Hallo,
  Stopping in real quick this am to show off these 2 small paintings. They are both cold wax and oils, attached to archival foam board and matted to slip into an 11 by 14 inch frame. They are listed on my Etsy shop and if you are local to me they are on my print rack at HH Arts Gallery in Fort Walton Beach also.
  I used palette knives and other texture tools to paint these onto arches oil paper. They look really nice together or separate.
