Encaustic Demonstration Bremerton

Ruth was able to do a demonstration of her encaustic art at a retirement community in Bremerton today.  Many of the people living there are artists and part of the local association. Most of them paint using oils and this was a new and exciting art form for them.  They would like Ruth to come back and teach a class this fall. They were very encouraging and many purchased her art.
Thanks to the staff and residents at Cascades of Bremerton for hosting this demonstration today!

New Encaustic

Ruth has been changing up the background paper she uses in her Encaustic art. It almost looks like chalk on a blackboard, but it's wax!

Ruth ended up making 20 pieces of art while in the gallery as many people wanted to put in their personalized requests for sizes, colors and details. She worked tirelessly for five hours! We are so proud of her!
Pictures coming soon!

2011 VSA Submission

We submitted Ruth's art for the national VSA competition this weekend. We are so proud of her pieces! These are encaustic prints mounted on wood, and mounted again on 16x16 MDF boards. The first is "Seasons" where she did 9 panels depicting spring to winter, and the second is "Colors", 4 panels in which she did the same scene in monochrome to capture different feelings by color.  (It is so difficult to get the nature of encaustic to photograph well! Because it is wax, using a flash causes a reflection,and without a flash you can't see the detail. )
