Sue Fazio's World of Wax - The Introduction

Here's my first video! I hope you enjoy!

reaching out...1'x1'

geese from norway...just thought I'd let you know sometimes I escape my own obsession

If you could touch this it feels just like you think it would feel...I am playing with making a still life HAVE SOME LIFE for goodness sakes!!!this one is 1'x1'...my preferred size for just working things out...when they excite me then I do larger paintings of the subject

so I was looking at youtube and came upon someone who was demoing shellac burns with encaustic wax...sooo of course I ran to the hardware store and bought some shellac and came home and experimented...now I am telling you this is a dangerous experiment BUT so worth it!! I did LOTS of them..threw AWAY lots of them...learned a lot..is now in my arsenal of how to get out of a dulldrum with my paintings

I am only going to post one of these...but I did a series of 15 of these building-type shapes..primarily because I was tired of doing organic flower stuff so decided I needed texture...and hard edge...my REAL life is like this...I can't keep doing the same thing for too long

so in between doing this flower series...I decide to go back and do a cow...still in encaustics..still 1'x1'...but the texture..drives me crazy!!!
