Crows

Fall always reminds me of crows. As I travel to work each day, I pass numerous fields. Maybe of them are barren from recently harvested corn, and grasses. Often, I see the crows hopping about searching for treasures. They amaze me; I wish I could sit and watch their antics for hours.

Explorations in Cold Wax Workshops!

The more I work with Cold Wax medium, the more excited I get!

It is really hard to STOP!

I have had several opportunities to teach workshops, in my studio, at the Studio School, and my latest experience, 

at the League of Roanoke artists Retreat. 

Teaching is a passion....so is creating art, 

so combining the two is sheer heaven!

I have been so impressed with everything my fellow artisans have created. 

Below is just a sampling from the latest class. 

Should you be interested in classes, 

or workshops in cold wax and/or encaustics, 

please email or call.

Susie was inspired by the magical pond and the colorful woods right outside the lodge.

....and lastly, I followed up with a critique and further discussion on other ways to work with the media, and how to frame these particular works. 

New Works

This past weekend, I had the good fortune of teaching another cold wax workshop. This time I worked with the League of Roanoke Artists at Camp Alta Mons. I will post photos soon....

For now, here are a few works I created during that workshop.
