A wet, evening city-scape. Acrylic and Encaustic (hot wax) on Canvas. This was part of my exhibition “Urban Scapes” held at the Charles Smith Gallery, Fitzroy in 2008, and sold at opening night. Pretty happy with that!!
Thankyou all – this is one of my favorite paintings. Not the normal way to use encaustic… I’ve put in on with a coarse hair brush, over the top of an abstract. I pigment my own wax, so the colours complement the paints I use underneath. Great fun

wow this sure looks like Manhattan.. Is it? I love it! Congrats on the Feature!
Thanks Robin – but no. I’ve never been there. It’s just a city in my mind….
