"Strike me down" Earth and Sky Series #5

As a child I was terrified of thunder storms.
 I am still frightened by their power of destruction
although I am fascinated by their beauty.

"Earth and Sky Series" #1"

Encaustic monotype on paper

My studio was renovated during the Winter and Spring months.
It is now ready and I just began working again.
I have been spending everyday painting with bee's wax.
Also called encaustic, I find this ancient medium very exciting, 
although a bit capricious.  
One needs the perfect temperature when working with wax and paper.
