"Madella" Large Encaustic Figurative Classic Redhead

"Madella" is a 24"x24" encaustic portrait I completed today.  I am currently trying to convey women who are timeless in appearance.  My current encaustic figurative paintings are larger and include the hands in order to give me practice.  It is a challenge to do the face and hand details in wax using the propane torch and I remain determined. I am doing more encaustics than oil paintings these days, but soon I plan to take a break and do a series of oil paintings.

"Getting Ready" Series #1 Scarlet Encaustic Figurative Classic Woman

                                                          SOLD
This encaustic painting is 12"x12" plus the frame.  I've been working on a series of women "getting ready".  I don't know what they are getting ready for,  but that doesn't matter.  They are lovely, timeless women.  Scarlet is painted with molten, pigmented beeswax. This painting won a Recognition Award at the 2011 national spring exhibition in Springfield, Oregon. -JAS
