Work in Progress, Debbie Miller

Not sure on the exact dimensions of this but it is quite big. Tacked up on the wall to paint along with 2 others.
The small paintings are on the back burner for now

Out of the Box day tomorrow (april 1) over at www.dailypainters.com .

Which means that we were challenged to do something we wouldnt normally do and then post. Not sure how many of us with give it a go but should be interesting.

Since I normally paint small, sorta contemporary realism I decided to go BIG and abstract. So here it is. My boys love it and have put dibs on it. :)

dont worry...back to the beach tomorrow....

All Summer

20x20" nfs - oil,collage,encaustic on supported wood panel. All Summer. This is what happens when you paint everyday and cabin fever strikes.....new things start to happen. My favorite little surfers are making an appearance, along with favorite colors,bubbles and some vintage type from an old childrens book. all held together with encaustic - which is so fun to play with. I like to carve into it then rub oil colors on top which I did a little of here. Hard to photo these to get all the depth and color.

My brother paints with encaustic all the time and his work is gorgeous! He's got a tutorial on his blog that shows his process with encaustic and photo transfer, it really is worth a look. check it HERE.
