Encaustic Workshop Day 2
On day 2, while waiting for Daniella Woolf's next batch of demos, I continued to add and scrape back layers of clear and pigmented wax on my Day 1 panels.
Daniella is an experienced teacher and kept giving us new techniques to work with throughout the day.

Marina Reflections and Bull Kelp
While down at a marina on an overcast day I captured these great reflections of boat rigging and a moody sky.
I recently bought this bull kelp and otter bone basket made by Maggie Squiresmaggiesquires.net I
put it at our front entrance so all visitors have the chance to admire it.

September Tree Colour Studies
With September's new moon I did colour studies of the same 4 trees I have been studying for over a year.
The red arbutus bark is peeling again to show a bright green under layer.
The withdrawal of chlorophyll is happening more rapidly in the maple tree this month.
Now I need to find these colours in thread and stitch a band of running stitch on each tree cloth.
The work is due to be exhibited again, this time in the Oakville town hall during the World of Threads.
It will look different with 4 more bands of colour added to each sheet.
