New Work

3 Papyrus - 11 X 14 - $150

I'm going to start releasing some photo's of work that will be part of my upcoming show as Featured Artist at Trails End Gallery for the month of June, opening night is June 2nd 3-6pm.

This piece is of course beeswax, color, collage, oil and raffia and  it is the piece I started at the Dot's and Doodles demo on April 28th. Luckily I've recovered from the cold I had and applied my attention to completing this so those great folks who were in attendance can see how it finished up. I've include the price if any of you are interested in purchasing just email me at www.bmallon@centurytel.net.

I will be doing another demo during the opening of the show at Trails End and it will be a somewhat abstract rendition of tulips but will allow me to demonstrate some of the techniques we'll be doing in the workshop I'm going to be teaching later on in August at Trails End.

Today, I'm finishing up some smaller sized paintings in the 12 X 12 to 11 X 14 range that may be included in the show so that there are plenty of pieces and price ranges. Tomorrow I'll be finishing the sides of the cradles with stain and Monday I'll be wiring up all of the pieces. I am going to be submitting work for the International Encaustic Association juried show "EncaustiCon" to be held in San Antonia, Texas in September 2012. These shows have encaustic artists from all over the world submitting and it's all very interesting.

It's cool and humid out and I wouldn't be surprised if rain were in the works for today - in other words a perfect day for working in my studio. Have fun yourselves!
