Experiment in Wax

I spent a few hours with friends experimenting with oils and wax. The above are my two hastily composed artworks. There was much to play with and kept my brain busy problem solving. Encaustic and cold wax are on my list of things to look up and read about.

Thanksgiving at Pilot Knob State Park

Thanksgiving at Pilot Knob  watercolor on 140# paper

Thanksgiving has come and gone.  Currently the wind is howling outside as the temperature is dropping drastically and winter is assuming its presence with assertion.  But at the time I was hiking the trails on Thanksgiving afternoon at a nearby state park, it was warm and the colors were gold and brown.  I took a solo hike with my dog, Rondo.  It is a good one mile hike over hills and past lakes.  It was relatively quiet except for several white tailed deer and a few lone geese.
