Sketches in Encaustic

I'm new to encaustic. Below are some of my experiments. While working, I have been reflecting on memory and connections. Most have incorporated pieces of my past or bits of my present or both into the work. I feel like I am starting to develop a bit of a vocabulary. The work will be on display at Gimme Coffee on State Street, here in Ithaca, for the month of May.

Psychology and Ordinary People

Over the years, I have loved to just sit down and let my imagination find a person on a page. Most of the time I am delighted by who I meet. Recently, I have begun finding people again on the pages of an old social psychology book I picked up a few years ago. My goal is one per day. All will be auctioned on Ebay. Perhaps I will try to publish a book with all of these characters. A book within a book might be fun.
