Layers of Light

While visiting Maine, and hiking in Acadia, I came across some of the most beautiful layered rocks. These rocks were the inspiration for a few paintings, and this was the first. The effect was created in an unusual way. When I am finished painting for the day, if there is any paint (melted wax and pigment) left on the palette, I don’t like to see it go to waste. I will mop up the excess paint with tissue paper and save it to use in other projects. I gathered these papers, crumpled them up, and melted them into the substrate (a 6” x 24” cradled encausticbord). This painting is a wonderful remembrance of a magnificent trip.
