One Buffalo

A piece from my ongoing series "In Search of Ritual". I started this series in 2008 just before I got sick. I plan to show this piece in my August show. Details soon!!! Bones 36 x 36 inches Encaustic assemblage

Next week I'm going to work on some really fun stuff!

Finally finished! Two Point Encaustic/Mixed Media on Blanket 32 x 48 inches

The studio at the end of today. Almost done the small blanket.

Wanted for Fighting Back 14 x 20 x 4 inches Mixed Media Assemblage This is the marriage between two earlier pieces that didn't get anywhere. This piece has everything going in it...encaustic. plaster, found objects, oil and acrylic, pigment transfer...you name it....even the kitchen sink got involved!

Natures Play 36 x 48 inches Mixed Media - Encaustic/cheescloth/painted blanket and found metal. This piece took a dramatic turn during the creation. I was going top create mosquito's but wound up with icicles. I really wanted something hanging from above and I didn't want to do leaves. I just love the creative process and how things just find their own way.

The Studio today featuring "Natures Play".

The Loon and the Mosquito's. Work in progress. I've drilled locations along the barrel hoop from where four exaggerated mosquito's will hang....various heights above the Loon. I'm thinking a thin wire armature with a felted body...not sure how I'll do the wings yet. When its done it should be an accurate depiction of our northern lakes.

The studio at weeks end. Bailed on the blanket and pounded on a different piece, one that's been dragging its feet.

Blanket progress......must be done by Friday.....pressure is on....good....that's the only thing that works for me. Otherwise I get carried off making lots of things I can't sell.

Some of my most recent work.

My first smaller than life blanket in progress.

Starting this afternoon I have to turn my attention to finishing the little blanket.
