The Water Bird by Sophie Shapiro
*All through the ages pools, lakes, sacred wells and springs have all been invested with magical properties and believed to be the dwelling places of the gods. Water is a universal symbol for the Soul and is represented by different moods and qualities. It can be gentle like rain and as hard as ice. In this painting using wax the Water Bird has arrived, to be refreshed and to return to its real state of purity by washing away the debit of the past. Music – Brian Eno Eno – And Then So Clear Encaustic wax

Guarding The Hatchling by Maria Louise Moore
Thought I’d marry two themes together, so a Strange Tree had some dragons added and ‘Voila!’ Encaustic painted on A3 card using a hotplate for the background. Iron and stylus for the trees and finer details. I have had to add a few more embelishments since I first uploaded this as I still wasn’t happy with the finished article. It’s now framed! /

Wood duck and baby by Tezz
Strange thing about the wood duck, is…it looks like wood, so you might be thinking …this doesn’t look like a realistic duck – and you’d be right…it doesn’t, even in real life…. And it’s not even called a wood duck because it looks like wood, it’s because it lives in the woods….. (Think I’ll go and have a nice lie down now :S) A4’ish waxes, iron and stylus….
