Wax Paper II - SOLD

Wax Paper II (SOLD)11 x 14 inches
oil on panel
After my last experiment with painting crumpled wax paper, I decided to really challenge myself and crumple up the wax paper and wrap it around a vase - and for a little extra snappiness put in a second crumpled piece of wax paper to kind of hang over the edge of the table and cast a shadow.
Yeah, I thought it was a good idea.... but I had no idea what I was committing myself to!!
Anyway, instead of taking process photos, this time I filmed the painting process. My husband helped me set up his super-duper professional movie camera to take one picture every 10 seconds for 60 hours. But it's going to take me some time to edit it into a nice little movie, so it will be a few more days at least before that's posted.
If you haven't yet, please sign up for my mailing list in the right column so you can be notified when I post the movie!
