I like to visit music stores that are packed with a variety of instruments from around the world. This is a preliminary idea for a possible series inspired by the interplay of shapes of instruments set up next to each other.

This small painting was textured first and then coated with an irridecent gold paint. It was then layered with a burnt orange and black. It shines in the light.

 I like doing faces. It always amazes me how one little line or shadow can change the whole expression and feel of a painting.

I ran across a painting that I did when I took an encaustic workshop. This one was inspired by it. It is getting close to looking like encaustic with a layer of yellow over red and then scratched through. I use a semi gloss coating of acrylic medium to finish it with layers of gloss coat before that. I really like the look of encaustic and want to experiment more with getting the look of it.
