encaustic & ochre work in progressthe ochre used in this work ( the red & yellow) comes from the Northern Territory of Australia, the same ochre that has been used by our indigenous aboriginals for over 40,000 years, i feel quite privlaged  to have a small amount…the photo doesn’t give the depth of colour justice though, combined with the lush texture of the encaustic i feel quite happy with the way this work is going…
