"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.

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.

"Passionate Sky"

©2008 D.M. Le Bris

This is a color study done in acrylic on watercolor paper.

I was thinking of the sea and its agitated sky, a passionate sky.

This is mostly from my imagination - it is not a real place.

I do like to create imaginary landscapes fueled by memories of past experiences.
