Here is another attempt at using oil and cold wax medium. I am finding it is not that easy to master. There are wonderful effects, however, that are not achievable in other mediums.

When I lead my workshops, I begin each session with a short meditation on grounding, centering, and letting go of expectations. This is always my goal when creating, and I was successful with this painting throughout the process.

This painting consists of three textured panels, each measuring 48 x 6 inches. Gold metal leaf gives a soft glow which is hard to replicate in a photo. Tones of black, gray, blue-gray, beige and umber complete a muted palette. It arrives ready to hang.

This vibrant abstract has a dynamic color palette and design. The watercolor paper on which it is painted is pressure mounted on a cradled wood panel painted white.
The complete title of this painting is Stepping Out of my Comfort Zone. It's quite far removed from my usual style, but I really had fun painting intuitively.

As a college art instructor, I took a semester-long sabbatical in Italy, where I took classes in Cortona through the University of Georgia Studies Abroad. This collage painting features a drawing I did in Florence and an image from the Vatican Museum, where I had a flashback to a previous life lived in Rome. Italy, and especially Rome, feels like home.

I continue to explore the medium of oil and cold wax. I like adding collage elements to the design. This painting is far from my normal palette of warm colors, but it is a soothing collection of blues and browns.
In our fast-paced, modern world, it is easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of thoughts, and the many distractions that pull us away from the present moment. Developing a state of "mindfulness", purposefully paying attention without judgement, offers us awareness, appreciation of the present moment, and the ability to focus.
To empty your mind and be awake and responsive in the moment takes practice. This state of being allows creative endeavors to occur and if, its a "Walk in the Park."
