I’m Ready Irene

I am 9 miles north of NYC and awaiting Irene’s arrival with 80 mph winds in a few hours. Today I dragged it in or tied it down, filled the tub, bought water, flashlights and made chocolate cupcakes. I moved my paintings out of the studio and covered them… maybe a little belt and suspenders. I also moved my drawers of encaustic paint…ahh so beautiful.  Fingers crossed.  I’m ready Irene.

Summer Work in Progress

Fern, triptych 30"x72", encaustic and mixed media

I always work on several paintings at the same time so that I can maintain some sort of critical perspective. This tryptich, Fern has been appearing on my work table off and on throughout the summer. She’s a work in progress. The color is a bit off in this photo because it was taken by me.
