Done?

Been having a tough time knowing when to call this encaustic piece “done.” I have looked at it for months this year as well as last year and worked a lot on it the past couple of days.

I should deem it done. Doing so would mean letting it go, no longer tinkering with it and thinking about it. I find myself kind of resisting that idea. Calling it done and moving on opens up everything for what’s next.

Art imitates life, eh?

This winter I took a class to learn how to make mono prints. Fortunately, this teacher also taught collagraphy as I quickly learned that painting with ink on an acrylic surface was not for me. I work with stencils in a lot of my art and so I tried them with this medium. Hooked! This is work from my short class. I will explore more soon.

Before inking the plate I tried a blind emboss. (Thank you advertising background.) Love it. I need to build a bit higher. With a class like this I was not able to experiment with a second or third layer of ink. These monotypes are all made with one pass through the press.
