This article just came out in our local paper, and the mural on my studio building was just finished. That is my studio upstairs with the white curtains. It's been fun watching the mural progress!

Open House at the Cottonmill Studios
This Saturday, April 17, my studio building is having a spring open house from 10-6. There are painters, potters, and even a flute maker. Stop by and check out what we've been up to! If you haven't seen my encaustics, this would be a great time to learn about this new medium for me.

Little Dotty Bee
Here is another little encaustic painting. It is only 4x4 inches, and I wanted to keep the design simple. I carved out the bee design after layering up several layers, including the drips (dots). Then I filled the bee in with brown and layered it with white and then scraped back the white to expose the bee and other layers. Fun with wax.

Encaustics
This is one of my early attempts at encaustic painting (painting with pigmented wax). The bee was drawn on tracing paper and imbedded into the wax with a layer of translucent wax over it. That came after several tries to carve/draw the bee into the wax itself. It is a fun but very different medium for me, and I am excited by the possibilities.

New Shop open
I have just opened up shop on 1000 Markets, a new venue for artisan businesses. Click on the link to the right and check it out! I have put originals and giclee' prints on it, and their whole site is very well produced. Let me know what you think.

Hercules Beetle
This is the latest in my bug series. It is a giant hercules beetle, done as a commission. The beetle really was huge, and a lot of fun to paint.
