Cold Wax

Working in Cold Wax

It is very hot in Southern California this time of year.  Instead of creating with hot wax I am using cold wax and enjoying every minute.

Fire and Rain & No Name

 This is a piece I recently finished.  It probably has about ten layers. It started out with watercolor and ink on 8" x 10" claybord.  Then I collaged papers on with wax, added many layers of wax, graphite, pigment paint stick.  At one point I did not like what was happening and scraped back some of the layers. Adding more layers and this is the final piece...I think.
