The S-Curve

The S-Curve
18" x 24" mixed media
photo transfer, encaustic, pigment, oil pastel


Size does matter! I have a 30" x 40"encausticbord panel and plan on transferring this image once I can focus without interruption. It will take time just to prepare the panel with layers of encaustic medium, transferring the image will require patience. When I try to rush things, I end up ripping the paper which distorts the image. The fun part for me is when I can finally add color and depth using pigments, oil pastel, and wax, the process brings the piece to life.

  1. To me, trees just add a much needed natural beauty to city scenes...throw in the lake and you end up with one darned beautiful scene, just like this one!

    1. I agree... I think trees, nature, soften even the most urban places. We just forget to notice at times, a reason for me to keep painting it.
