Usually, I work to achieve a glass-like surface, but because I teach so many workshops, I experiment with other techniques and surfaces so I can share the information.
These two paintings are like excavations - so the titles...Lots of digging, cutting into and spraying water into hot encaustic to create a lava-like surface.

Excavation 1

Excavation 2

I never run out of things to try with encaustic.

O.K., I give up! Somehow the direct link to my new video has been compromised. It works on FaceBook. If you have an interest in seeing it, please go to YouTube and just type in Ezshwan.

  I have been suffering from compressed vertebrae in my neck and resulting nerve pain. When the pain was less, I worked on this piece. I am not sure about it. It may be over worked. What do you think?

I am going to the States for 2 weeks for a grandson's high school graduation. A change of scene and some healing Lomi Lomi from my son-in-law will be welcome.
