My good friend and abstract artist Wanda Mawhinney who lives and paints in Port Townsend, WA, has just recently introduced me to the world of ColdWax/Oils. This is a new and very exciting medium for me. I have just started painting portraits in oils again but wanted a medium for abstracts that was new. This painting titled Genesis2, was painted on a 25x25 canvas. Many artists use panels, but I found the canvas worked for me. The painting has about 10 layers on it and was almost finished, (first picture) when I decided I wanted a more obvious direction for it. It reminded me of a worm's view of being beneath the earth. The second picture is the finished work. I have two more started and thought I would show a more detailed progression of the process....so that is coming shortly.
