Hudson Sunset

This 16 x 20 inch encaustic painting with India ink and just a few light touches of oil was inspired by the views from an Amtrak railway car along the Hudson River as I returned from NYC to my home in the Northern Catskill Mountains. (And this painting is coming soon to Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, NY!)

A Morning Rife with Possibility

The Light Slips away

India inks and oils over encaustic over watercolor.

The edges of day, last brilliant glimmers of light as the sun slips down below the Northern Catskill Mountains. I’m drawn, again and again, to this theme of ephemeral, temporal beauty and wonder as the light whispers at dusk and dawn. Working with these layers of translucent media allows much depth, atmosphere, and light.

Recently on display at The Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, New York, this 8 x 8 painting has found a new home.

Winter Light

February

Exploring the theme of creating a sense of vastness through very small paintings. Starting with a wash of watercolors on a cradled wood panel, I build layers of encaustics, create the turbulent sky by intensifying the heat with a heat gun and then adding touches of oil paints mixed with beeswax.
