I’v been working this last month on abstract pieces. Mostly oil and wax. This is a cold wax medium which is mixed into the oil paint. It leaves the surface matt which is a very nice surface. Hope you enjoy the pieces.The ones I have included in this post are all on paper.

This piece was done when I lived in Carpinteria, California.
It’s been in storage for several years, now it hangs in the studio.
Hot waxand resin are combined and melted to create the texture, carving into the wax once it is cool and creating a drawing.
It could beconsidered a drawing or a painting.
