Encaustic Tern & Heron, SOLD!

Some weeks are luckier than others.
Last week I sold one Encaustic Caspian Tern Painting and a photograph, printed on canvas of a Great Blue Heron.















They are currently in The Exhibit, "The Edge of The Sea" at The Chocolate Church in Bath.
This show will be up through June 9th. Stop in, if you can, you will love this Shoreline inspired Exhibit.

Encaustic Crow Paintings...

This collection of Encaustic/Pigment Crows can be seen at The Yarmouth Frame Shop. They will be included with 15 other kdb pieces in a group show called, "Eternal Spring". I work and live in Maine so it did not seem strange to include a snowy crow eating berries!

Encaustic ART Exhibit...

I just dropped off a collection of Encaustic pieces at The Summer Island Studio & Gallery. I am the featured Artist for the month of April. This is a fun gallery with an interesting collection of Art, Jewelry and Sculptures.The owner Patti Baker is a talented Jeweler and has a great eye for curating her store.

This is a gallery worth checking out. The Gallery is located at 149 Maine St. (The Tontine Mall) Brunswick, Maine.

Encaustic Bird Paintings...

These are two of my newest Encaustic paintings. They will be featured in an ART Exhibit at Summer Island Studio Gallery in Brunswick, Maine. My work will be featured the month of April.
Royal Terns are common on the Florida Gulf coast shoreline.
I photograph them on the sandy shore, then study the photos in my Maine ARTstudio.

Encaustic Crows and Feathers...

I have been busy in the new studio. My "Encaustic Bay" work space is delightful to work in. Lately I have been working on a series of Flight feathers.

I am experimenting with Graphite dust, and how it melts and interacts with the Encaustic medium. The effect is smokey and surreal all at the same time.
I have been studying the flight feathers of Pelicans and a series of paintings has emerged.
One night there was an epic style storm, the sea was wild, these feathers washed up on the shoreline, from the Pelican nesting sites on many of the Mangrove Islands that dot the North Eastern most tip of the Everglades.
