Hoping to get back into the studio this weekend to do some spring painting now that colours are starting to green up outside. I love me some fall and early spring browns but that bright green is uplifting. #encausticpainting #wisconsin #encaustic

Morning art day with a friend is making me follow through with blocking out a few pieces before painting. Super useful & a step I keep skipping because I’m impatient. Excited to see if my next step goes as planned or if I just paint over them in a non-planned way…so many unknowns to look forward to

Working through some new pieces in the studio, and by studio I mean basement. Tomorrow I go outside! #encaustics #encaustcart #art

Excited to have 'The crow of judgement' in the 2025 Wisconsin Craft Biennial. Seems appropriate for the times. I wasn't angry when I made this - but might have to do a new series titled 'angry art'. Hop in to Plymouth Arts Center & check out recent work from 65+ Wisconsin Artists until April 25th!

The local crows have been active in trees nearby lately and I’ve been working on a crow piece today. Because…crows.

Had a really lovely time painting this one while hanging out in a zoom meeting/studio time organized by IEA yesterday. Was nice to spend time meeting other encaustic artists, even if it was online, because there aren’t that many nearby! #encausticartist #wanderingwaterstudio #encaustic

I confess I’ve been a little low energy for art with all that’s going on this week, but finished up a couple paintings in time for next weekend’s Fine Art & Craft Sale Feb 8 & 9 at Olbrich Gardens. #wanderingwaterstudio #madisonwi #encausticpainting #fineartandcraftsale #olbrichbotanicalgardens

Looking forward to clearing out art supplies I don’t use at this Saturday’s art and craft supplies garage sale: DeStash Bash ( artworkswisconsin.com/destash-bash/ ) but a little worried I’m going to come home with more than I bring
