Kiss the Shore

I had a small cradled board that I wanted to use so I created this painting.  Summer always makes me want to paint water so most of my paintings become ocean paintings, even if I start with a different idea.  

I added a bit of a shellac burn in the bottom of the painting to give some interesting texture.

I had an encaustic painting that was done a few years ago that I really didn't care for so I decided to paint over it.  I have done that with many of my encaustics.  That's one of the things that is so much fun with encaustic.  A painting can always be modified or completely changed.  Having worked mostly in watercolor, I find that very freeing.

My goal on this painting was to create a calming, yet energetic painting with an abundance of visual texture while having a smooth surface.  This is mostly encaustic with a little bit of oil paint added.
