    makes me feel GOOD! i love the design and the soft tones.

  • Thanks Jim! the softness comes from layering wax, a lovely effect

    Gorgeous John, Wax? as in candle? I see to the left that this is part of a much bigger piece. I actually still have the meditative piece still as desktop image.

  • that’s lovely – I am glad you like that image I sent so much. yes, beeswax used here (and on the other) gives a nice softeness and slight blur. It is a part of much larger image, I am slowly getting through scanning them.

    darn typos, yes meant wax, I have seen some wax paintings here too, know a guy that paint only with wax but he is not a PC user.. awesome effect and time consuming. Pity yours are missing in action!
