I was in New York City last weekend and visited the annual Armory Show at Pier 94. It's an international event — "243 international galleries featuring the most important art of the 20th and 21st centuries" proclaimed an ad in the Times. A bit of hyperbole there?
Had some problems with Google/Blogger so I'm starting the Artworks blog over again. Images disappeared on the earlier one. Just as well because I have some new stuff to add. So here goes:
a recent etching
a print on mulberry paper dipped in melted beeswax — a dipped encaustic
an acrylic collage done in 2004
this is charcoal drawing on mulberry paper dipped in hot beeswax — another dipped encaustic
.. grew up on the family farm, received a degree from the University of Illinois, worked a summer in Montana, spent more than three years in the U.S. Army, more than three years working on an English-language newspaper in Tokyo, a year with the Voice of America, and then re-joined the local newspaper where I earlier met my wife, Janet. Retired in 2001 and now enjoy doing encaustics, collage, and cold wax and oil.
