Work on Full of Wish, my next piece in the Encaustic series, Balancing Acts

Today I finally began real work on the next piece in my Encaustic series, Balancing Acts. I was able to finish the Redwing Blackbird Egg and the head of the teaspoon that the eggs are balancing on. Next up is the Western Meadowlark egg, which you can see has been blocked in. I will also finish the handle of the spoon and hopefully have time to start on the hat pin that will be the anchor for the piece.

Again, I have worked this in relief. Really, these paintings (like most), are not fully appreciated until viewed in person. Ideally, these will be showcased in a one woman show along with an installation in the same vein.

Enjoy!
