After Stella….

An underpainting in wax - that’s what this is. I’m building layers of wax medium over broad brushed color to “push it back” and then I’ll start developing my limbs and foliage. This could work — I have to believe! I like where it is right now although I’m a little concerned that it’s too strong at this point. Okay…back to believing.

And before I settled down at the encaustic table, there was Stella. She was in an animal shelter for TOO long and then a kind rescuer put her in boarding….where she has been TOO long. We’re trying to help her get into a foster home so we visited her this morning to get a feel for what kind of dog she is. Well, she is a GREAT dog! Sweet, loving, and very deserving of a chance. We took photos and video - and I’m Stella’s biggest fan. Ask me how you can help!!
