finally managed to get about 4 hours in my studio today with no distractions..awesome, that has been very rare lately,,was great just to be able to not worry about time or needing to get anything done..started by melting some wax with no idea in mind as to what to do, hadn’t used my etching press for a while so monoprint it started as, then combined with encaustic and this is what i came up with, quite similiar in idea to a series i have been working on of the reeds that grow around the edge of our local lake and the reflections made in the water and patterns produced from them..it is raining at the moment the door is open, the sound is wonderful, the frogs are happy, croaking in chorus, the air smells fresh..i can hear thunder, there is lightning, think it may be time to pour a glass of red and go out to the veranda and enjoy the show..until next time..
