Our vacation interrupted my rhythm of painting and shooting pictures, and blogging…so here it is late September, and I have finally gotten the paintings I finished before vacation shot, and am just now getting them posted.

This one is a fairly fanciful voyage into creating a third piece to fit in between two of my other recent pieces to create a triptych.

Here’s a small mockup of the triptych:

Golden Path Triptych

This piece is a sort of fractal enlargement of a section of my “Behind the Wall” piece; this is called “Grandma was a Stromatolite:”

I seemed to need to do a landscape; this one is called “Field of Artists’ Dreams” and combines fresh encaustic with pretty little patches of paint – little mini-paintings.

This started out as my first Cel Animata painting, and after much work, turned into another painting; but I wasn’t satisfied yet, so today, I scraped the whole thing down and started over; after months and months of work and 1/8″ worth of wax later, I finally like it!
