Two encaustics ...

"woman" (beeswax on birch panel; a small piece, about 9 x 12 inches)

"calculations" (beeswax on paper and drawings; about 22 x 30 inches)

At the Armory Show ...

I was in New York City last weekend and visited the annual Armory Show at Pier 94. It's an international event — "243 international galleries featuring the most important art of the 20th and 21st centuries" proclaimed an ad in the Times. A bit of hyperbole there?

Had some problems with Google/Blogger so I'm starting the Artworks blog over again. Images disappeared on the earlier one. Just as well because I have some new stuff to add. So here goes:
