Back from vacation and missing the internet and all my inspiring artists

One great thing about being on vacation at our cottage is that there is no internet because otherwise I would be on it and not taking it easy. This is when hubby and I get a chance to do some art work in between all the work that is needed for a second home. So as soon as I unpack when I am home, the first thing that I do is load up my computer and get caught up on all my favourite inspiring artists out there. This one in particular is one of my favourite encaustic artists, Eric Gaston Simard. Check out some of his amazing pieces they are so colourful and here is some of the details of his proces with encaustic. I am so doing this with a couple of frames that I have where the glass broke, of course after I finish the paintings that I am working on.
