Neglected


I have seriously neglected my blog lately. Maybe Facebook is partly to blame but for the most part I have been working on new work truly spending hours fusing encaustic paint. The results have been pleasing but I have struggled too. The struggle comes with trying to pinpoint exactly what I am saying right now. I don't really have very much of a clue. It has to do with pattern, symmetry, repetition...I may know what is emerging soon as the series continues to stay with me even when I'm sleeping. That really doesn't happen to me very often. I am really working on three series at once. The floral with texture, the serial abstract, and photographs of trees that are cut and pasted resulting in the most fantastic images. Accompanying is a floral I find fascinating because the color palette is so different for me.
