New Painting Series--1st Painting-in-Progress

I have begun a new painting series, which needs to be completed for Weekend at the Galleries here in Silver City during Columbus Day weekend, Oct. 10-13, 2008.

I revert back to my abstract work. This series came in a dream and I am attempting to stay true to the vision while remaining immersed in the openess of creative process. Here are the three stages so far. The painting is still in process.

The last photo is my test sample that I did a few months ago:

I'm using the acrylic encaustic process that I learned back in March from Nancy Reyner of Santa Fe. I'll share the final painting when it is complete.

Chair-ity Auction

I painted a chair as a donation for our local Chair-ity Auction to benefit the historic downtown Silco Theatre. Each year, artists are given black director's chairs to paint or decorate in their unique style. This year, mine is called "Midnight at the Oasis".
