After a brief hiatus from outdoor shows, I will be back at the festivals this year.  Even though I took a break from the shows, I have continued to paint regularly and will have new work at the three shows I have scheduled so far.  The first is this weekend.

Note about the weather:  If the current prediction becomes reality, I will opt to display on Sunday only.  I will have a note on my blog  and my Facebook page

The painting shown above was painted using water soluble encaustic (wax).  It was very interesting to work with and I will be doing more work with this medium.

Please stop in and chat, I'm sure we have a lot of catching up to do.

How do you relate to an artwork when there is no object to give you a clue?

When an artist uses only color, pattern and texture to convey ideas and emotions, how do you discern the artist’s message?

Opening reception with the artists

September 18th in the Arts Center @ 319 from 6 to 8 pm.
