The Forest Vessels

Here are how the "scribbles" ended up. Not quite so rambunctious, contained one could say, but I hoped the energy of the drawn line would sing through. One of the problems I have of working digitally is the lack of life in completely digital work and while I love working with my computer, I need to have the quality and feeling of my hands and body. The other big problem working on paper is framing. So, often I glue the paper to a hard support and then coat the the surface with encaustic. Using encaustic to seal the surface has another advantage, it seems to bring back the color  and luminosity that I seem to lose in the printing process. You can see larger images of each work, and in fact the whole series, on my web site; where, if you wish just click on any image and the large one will pop up in a new window.

    I never thought I'd hear you say that, that would be a major turn down for me !
