In the works...

A number of years ago I was planning on taking an encaustic workshop but was informed that the media was quite toxic.  Now that I've done more research and have inherited a pile of reclaimed lumber, I thought that this might be a good time to experiment.  This piece is looking very interesting, it's a creation for the Christmas show at the Evanescence Gallery (as long as it turns out :)  I also had a wonderful weekend at the Calyx Exhibit - it is so good to be surrounded by creative friends.  The weather was absolutely beautiful - I love autumn.  And finally, our eldest daughter asked each of us in this family to write a list of favorite songs, these are mine:

Annie's Song - John Denver
At Last - Etta James
Northern Girl - Terri Clark
The English Patient - Gabriel Yared
Our Town - Iris Dement & Emilou Harris
Overnight - Amy Grant & Sarah Chapman
With or Without You - U2
Landslide - Stevie Nicks
Ricordo Ancor (Pelagia's Song) - Stephen Warbeck & Russell Watson
La Vie en Rose - Louis Armstrong
Get Me Through December - Alison Krause
Delibes: Flower Duet - Elizabeth Schwarzkopf & Jeannine Collard
