Today I am starting to create a new work. I have done color studies with pigment sticks, sketched out ideas on tracing paper and am laying down a solid color on my panels. It's still not a solid start yet, but as I work, my creative brain will figure things out. That's how I work.How about you?

Part of being an artist is doing lots of computer work. It helps to have a sweet companion like my tuxedo cat Twister. How about you? What cat inspires your work? #catsofinstagram #instacat #artist

These are my favorite encaustic tools! There is a ribbon tool, a needle tool, a palette knife, and a razor blade. #washingtonartist #washingtonusa #suburbantroublemaker #protest #dctrending1#women #virginiaartist #washingtonusa

I like to add R& F paint sticks to the surface of my encaustic paintings. I can get small details a bit easier or just change a white to off white with ease. Here is a look at my paint sticks! See more of my art here...https://www.gallerydz.com
