This is craziness. All I want to do is paint.

Well, encaustic does look like one of the funnest art media ever. Who can blame you. This artist’s work with resin always gives me the same I-wanna-try-it feeling: http://www.juliebakerfineart.com/dynamic/artist.asp?ArtistID=30&CategoryID=Mare%20Tranquillitatis%20Series. She draws/scratches/paints/adds stuff to layers of resin. They’re really rich in a way that you can’t see in the online.
I’ve been thinking about my inner harpy lately — she’s so loud.
No. This is SPARTA!
holy hot Scotsman! I miss you!

Michelle–that’s the great thing about encaustic. I love lots of layers, and this medium is all about the layers. It’s like I’ve found my best fit. Her work is amazing and I’d like to go see a show.
It does look like a fun medium - you paint with it beautifully and the results look good enough to eat! How big is a finished piece?
Well, each one has been between 6×6″ an 8X12″ in an effort to paint a larger surface area, which is something I’d feel more comfortable with. This one is 6×10″, for example. The next one will be bigger than any so far, at 2.5 sq. ft.
Your art and words always inspire me. I have left a little something for you on my blog. Happy New Year and happy painting.
