Stacked Medium

It's been a few days since my last post. You saw the video for my first encaustic medium pour. Well, ALMOST saw my first pour, if my right arm hadn't been in the way the whole time! Hey, like I said, I'm a painter, not Steven Spielberg!

The 8 ozs. of medium went well, so I just jumped right into making two pounds. I have two muffin tins: one small and one large, so I poured all of the two pounds into the muffin tins. The next day I popped them out and stacked them. This is two pounds (less one of the larger spheres) of my stacked medium. Hey, this in and of itself could be an art installation, don'tcha think?

I've already used one of the blocks of medium and I think it's pretty good. What I'm learning, though, is if I put too much oil point in the heated tin, it will cause the wax to resist hardening. It will always feel sticky. I've got to pull back on the amount of paint I use. Which is could, because it's less costly, right?

    I like to think of myself as a creative soul, living the dream in Panama. Truth be told, I'm just trying to negotiate life’s passages on this rock upon which we’ve landed. I would like to do that with as much dignity as possible and without wreckage, hurt feelings and tears. I can do that. At least until I get out of bed.
