Windows #8, 13"x17", encaustic on wood panel

I am going back to the "Windows" series. Got a great response at the American Craft Council Show in San Francisco, in Aug, so I am revisiting this use of the clear pools over images. The complexity is intruiging, and of course I love scraping through the layers. I am planning some really large pieces.

Open Studios in October, the 21, and 22, (22 is my birthday), at my studio. Also the "Wax Works" show at the O'Hanlon Center for the Arts is opening Oct 3, and Oct 7. www.west-coast-encaustic-artists.org I will be doing demos at the two openings.

I will be teaching an intro workshop Oct 15 at the O'Hanlon Center, including a docent tour of the show. This is a really great way to see lots of encaustic painting at the same time as learning the techniques. To register go to www.ohanloncenter.org

October 27,28,29 I will be at the Sacramento Arts Festival at the convention center.Booth #810.

Monday, Sept 18, I am setting off across the country to drive to Kansas City, Mo for the Plaza Art Show, www.countryclubplaza.com It was rated #5 in the country and they expect 300,000 people! I just hope I can get everything and me in the car. I have a brand new booth and will be showing mostly paintings, and ceramics of course.

Made a great connection in Carmel at a gallery, stay posted!!

Kansas City here I come!
