Almost Winter


I finally drug the two encaustic panels out to the studio porch to photograph them. I was somewhat worried about the wind blowing all of us off but I made it back in before the big gust came. It wasn't easy as I had to back down some stairs and hard to get the two pieces to line up for the photos. While editing, I could almost crop out part of the edges of the images. I think this is close enough.

They are finished except I will need to paint the edges with something (not wax)to blend with the front of the paintings. It will be considered a diptych.....and I've played around with various titles. I think "Almost Winter" will do.

  1. Cheryl, these are really beautiful. I love the stalks hanging on till the first snow...at least that's what it feels like to me. :)

  2. Thanks, Rebecca. We don't get a lot of snow ..but it gets paler and paler in the grasses all around as winter approaches.
