Towards Lake Ontario

These last 2 small works were done on unprimed paper....that's what I started painting on many years ago, but almost everything lately has been done on primed paper. It felt good getting back to the 'raw' surface. Every little change in procedure is significant in the flow of the work.

June Evening, North Field

Encaustic Head

Encaustic on thin plywood panel, 8.25 x 10.5 inches, bits of paper collaged in with the wax.

Head

Encaustic on unprimed thin plywood panel, 7.25 x 10 inches.

Early Evening

Encaustic on thin plywood panel, unprimed, 8 x 7.5 inches.

August, Lost Dog Hill

Encaustic on plywood panel, unprimed, 8 x 10 inches.

Home Site 1 and 2

8 x 8 inch acrylic on matte board, unprimed. Every so often I revert back to an umprimed surface. The feel is very different from a gessoed surface and is a bit more akin to drawing. The second image was made right after the first.

June Haze

Completed just an hour ago....a lovely day that got quite hot, hence the haze.
