Last month I created these baseball paintings. I finally got around to mounting them onto the chalkboard painted masonite today.


They are very experimental. I did not set out to do a baseball theme – in fact, I bought the hardboards with the intent to do more horseshoes paintings. So, these just happened. They kind of came out of nowhere.


I love the texture of encaustic. The smooth areas juxtaposed with thick globby drips, the creamy wax and the gorgeous smell… It is an intoxicating medium. I added paper money to these, both real and imaginary. I also had this wonderful feather-infused rice paper that I loved incorporating. So cool!


No plans yet regarding what to do with them. I guess find a place to store them until an opportunity presents itself. The serendipitous approach.
