Hanna Broken and Sublime

I've been off for a few days, dring to get this one done. It was supposed to just take a day or two! The best laid plans....
Encaustic on canvas, 24x36



Quite an enjoyable exercise. Hanna had been curious about encaustics; so we took advantage of her broken wrist (which has been keeping her off her regular job) to pile into this one. It's been a number of years since I did a large one, and I had forgotten how enjoyable it is. Much more pleasant than oils! An added bonus was listening to her collection of music (we've run through most of mine), which included a new-to-me group called Sublime. When she first mentionned them, I thought someone was setting Edmund Burke to music? I have sort of a disconnect from modern culture, I guess....
