It feels so good to be back at the studio, actually outside working on some new encaustic pieces. Returned from Wausau Festival of Arts this weekend where I took 2nd place, yeah!!! Aspirus Hospital purchased a large piece again this year, they, like Bay Area Medical Center use original, regional artwork on their walls! More business's should do that. Show was nice and sunny and I got to meet many new artists and share tips, horror stories and inspirational thoughts! It was a good show. Now I'm home for a couple weeks with thoughts and sketches coming to my mind constantly for my next body of work.
