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!!
