As usual, the turnout for the show in Stowe VT was excellent. West Branch Gallery does a stellar job with their openings. Live jazz, good food and drink and lots of people interested in the arts. Also, as usual, not too many sales but they seem to come later. I did sell one nest to repeat collectors which is always nice.
My next show will be in the coming summer months. Though I am not woking yet due to my hip surgery, I ruminate on what I would like to work on. I sense a need to combine encaustic and cold wax. I am still quite pleased with the ‘Amorphous Stones’. I am hoping to combine the cold wax moss paintings with the stones. Why not? That’s where one finds some of the most enticing moss. During my months of recovery I have been photographing some areas of moss when the sunlight hits them. I put some of the images on my dining room table and started to see a large wall piece of various disparate images all coming together. Mixed in are some closeup photos of stones with their monochromatic colors, cracks and fizzures.
