Kara, Great work in your gallery.  I especially like "serene waters".  Great site, keep up the good work!

Thank you for visiting my page and for the kind words. As for the snow, I like being out in it and playing but I am tired of shoveling the driveway and ready for the colors of spring.  If you really miss the snow I will try and send some your way, we are supposed to get more tonight.
I viewed your portfolio and you have many interesting paintings and photographs.  There are several I like but did not see a title, but there is one abstract with peach colored squares in the center with a blue base that is my favorite.
Thanks again for the comments.
Regards,

I am a big fan of your abstracts! I haven't invested much time into abstraction but I admire those who have taken the risks to do something new. You have found your stronghold! Are you a fan of Rothko? I enjoy his color schemes but I am more satisfied by your compositional additions to the Rothko-esque patterns. I could look at your Red and Gold circular piece all day.

Hi Kara, Thank you so much for your kind words!  They were very inspiring.  I'm glad you found me on here.  I enjoyed looking at your work.  I like your use of textures in your work.  The nature themes are my favorites.

Thanks for the comments and yes the framed pieces are Chasing and repousse', it's one of my favorite mediums. To use tools that are 1/4" or smaller and bring the metal to life, I enjoy each piece more than the one before.

And raising is also in my top favorites. What you described I'd consider more etching, my raising involves a hammer and raising stakes and taking a flat sheet of metal and bring it to the shape of a vessel.  I'll be posting a series that I'm currently working on and finishing up very soon. hope you like these new vessels, let me know.

I'm always amazed at what painters can do with brushes and a piece of canvas, but then I do a similar thing with metal, I think.

Hi Kara.  I learned encaustic from a local instructor in atlanta.....beleive it or not, it was hard to find an instructor here as well.  I have fallen deep into a passionate relationship with this medium.  It is so addictive.  You can go to my website and see more work...I haven't posted all of it on this site yet.  Comments please!
