I have simply wished to base upon a thorough knowledge of tradition the reasoned and independent feeling of my own individuality - Gustave Courbet, 1855

Hanna, Waxed
This one is finally done. It's 24x36, encaustic on panel. I don't think I'll try to sell this one, but if anyone wants a poster size print (roughly 13"x19") let me know. Now on to the etchings....
Thanks Sharon! But it was much harder on Hanna than me - I got to play with the blowtorch and hot wax and things, and she was stuck there for maybe 5 sessions. She was very stoic about it all...
I put the "mature audience" warning on for those who are bothered by the dangly bits and lumps and crevices of life, intimacy, and trust - reproductive, mammary, intellectual, emotional, poetic, political, reasoned or unreasoned, what have you. There are lots of other places to find order, cleanliness, and capital "t" Truth, but this isn't really one of them.
A few words of wisdom
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.

The blog name HalifaxCB comes from a handle I used to use on the Global View Forex Forum, which is a great site. If you have come here looking for Forex info, particularly on Kalman filtering, I'm out of the game, but stay and read about art. Or better yet, buy some. That's all I do now.

Really lovely work - that's an ambitious size for a figurative encaustic. Bravo!
