"NH Open Doors" weekend

For the firs time, I participated in the NH Open Doors weekend.

I didn't know what to expect 

as I shared my good friend Jessie Pollock's studio. 

Jessie is also an encaustic painter and extremely talented.

I was happily surprised 

to see that a good number of visitors came to visit us on both days.

The weather was sunny and cool 

but perfect for a drive in the country.  

People came from different part of New England 

and were very curious about the encaustic process.

I did enjoy sharing and describing this ancient technique with them.

By the end of the weekend 

I sold four paintings including this large encaustic, displayed above,

which I titled "Brume Matinale".

It was one of my favorite encaustic piece 

and I was a bit sad to see it go.

Our creations are like our children in a way 

and I felt like my child went away!
