I would like to see the river highlighted a bit more since that is your central theme. So hard to tell though when I’m watching on my phone vs seeing it large and in person. Very cool painting though and you explain it very well! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and techniques.

This is really cool. While I realize it's not the intention, it makes me think of ancient bath house tiles. Perhaps of your landscape choice. A little timey whimey mishap. Like every itsy bit of texture and worn away color is a step, a hundred steps, tens of hundreds of steps. Just like the river, winding their way through time. Their memory being washed away by the very water they bathe in. The image of the river all that remains, as if to say "You can try to capture me, but you'll never contain me." On that note, in response to your request of is it missing something or finished; only you know that answer. Due to how I see it, I'd possibly try to bring in a little more aging in varying degrees of subtle texture and chips or divets and some plays on that lovely brown with maybe just a hint of a choice mildew barely ghosting over the cream in a translucent glaze here and there. Perhaps in a style mimicking sunlit clouds reflecting upon a waters surface. I know. All very convoluted. With that said, it's your eye that's important. What you see, want to convey, and feel is finished is what matters as this is a piece of you we're lucky to be witnessing. Also in answer to your question concerning the filming. It's my belief that a traditional artist often barely has time to learn all they wish to of their preferred medium or mediums. Much less staying on top of all of the filming rigmarole. I will watch a passionate artist doing their thing with less than perfect filming every single day over a glossy perfect recording of the mundane and repetitive. To each their own, but you just do you and keep enjoying your art. That's the magic we see when we get to view, enjoy, and learn a little from you. If we expected perfect camera angles, we'd be watching an entirely different subject. Not to mention, it's depressing when the act of filming physically compromises the artist's ability to construct or render as they really want to. Anyone who's filmed knows what a nightmare it can be sometimes, so I think any of us will happily watch what you put out. Just don't compromise your ability to move with the painting, and it will be great. Thank you for sharing the yellowing information on the white and clear. I didn't know this happens, but I guess it certainly makes sense that it would. I really appreciate your sharing it with us and I do like the happy little opportunity it gifted you. I wasn't sure I was going to like the cream at first since it changed the entire feeling, but now I can't imagine the piece without it and I believe it enhanced it. Last, but certainly not least, my favorite part of this encaustic, and I do really like what you've done with it, is the excitement and joy in your voice when you're talking about it and walking us through your process. We can hear that even if that camera wasn't on, you'd be painting away. Hearing the emotion as you reveal surprises you've discovered or the reason why you're making a decision you're making marks your videos as something far more special than a perfectly polished production. With that in mind, I'd very much enjoy seeing you work on bigger pieces. I prefer larger encaustics. With the joy you appear to get in your pattern making, carving, and etching I think it would come across even more with a larger canvas. The more, the merrier and all of that. Maybe the moor, the marrier. If we're really lucky. 😜 Have a marvelous May! 💜🦋

Wow - truly amazing results ! The unusual dimensions must have made it difficult in the design element , but all the textures and contrasting angular shapes really look great - so much to look at . Thank you so much . The sharing of all your processes is very much appreciated . Kind regards - Judi - Australia

I'd love to see some contour map lines (the ones that show different land height). I wonder if they could even be 3D (not sure if possible with the wax). I'm a massive map nerd, so I love this piece you've created, and I think you can go even further!
