Day One

Orangina B is buzzing around the flowers, and if you listen, you can hear her singing, "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...."

It's Coming

Starting on Thursday, Dec 1st, I will be sending out my New Year's Calendar, which consists of an email/post a day until the end of the year.  (It's kind of an overgrown, non-denominational "Advent" calendar - which grew to include the whole month of December).  Many of you have received these before. 

This year I will also be posting the calendar here on my blog.
 
If you want the emails and are not on my list please let me know.  If there is anyone you think would enjoy getting the emails send me their e-dress, or send them here to the blog.

Happy December!

Wax-Inc and Copley

If you get a chance to visit the South Shore Art Center in Cohasset before Christmas look for my Starship Flipper in the Wax-Inc show.  This Sunday Kim Bernard will be giving a Gallery talk at 1 pm.

and this little diptych, Red Planet, will be in the Copley Society's Holiday small works show, along with a couple more.

And still more encaustic monotype experiments..

 

This one features Hylla's Joanne loves this Red.

 

This one is mounted on a panel and altered.

This is very addictive!

More encaustic monotype experiments..

I've been having a wonderful time with my encaustic hot box.  Here are a couple of details from my output.  They are all part of a series with stars, and will probably end up in an artist's book in the near future.
