got the blues

Playtime in the studio. This week's project has been an expansion on something I started earlier this year, when I made up separate batches of encaustic medium in every single oil and powdered pigment color I own. Now I'm taking those colors and painting them onto little squares of plexiglass.


Plexi is the perfect ground for exploiting the translucent quality of the wax. It allows light to enter from behind as well as in front.
