I've worked on several art pieces this week, focused on increasing my inventory for the Allied Arts Holiday Festival. I was accepted to have my art for sale this year! Happy dancing, but busy, busy!
First completed piece is this 4x6 encaustic collage that is now in my Etsy shop.

I also started this 12 x 12 canvas, beginning by adhering a variety of papers with matte medium.
Then muting the papers with cream paint, scrubbed off.
Once dry, I used my brayer to apply neutral colored paint... I got a bit more covered than I originally intended, but I still like where it's going.
I hope to have this completed to share next week. Happy Friday, everyone!

Congratulations on being accepted for the festival. Your 12x12 canvas basis looks good - I wonder what it will look like next week. It's off to a great start - I like your style.
Terrific looking background! I always love what that initial coat of titan buff does for the background--
Great new pieces. Congrats and good luck with the show.
