Ochre barn 12 x12 encaustic I just hung this in our bedroom as it had been packed away for a couple of years. I love encaustic painting but don't do it much anymore. This piece came from 2010 when I was working a lot with encaustic. #encaustic #Painting #HotWax #ArtLife #OlderWork #WarmColors

58/100 of #100memoriesofmom Potatoes were a rare dish to find on our dinner table. My mom however would order a baked potato in a restaurant and when the server would ask "Butter or sour cream ?" She would pause and then answer "both". Guilty pleasures. #memories #potato #watercolor #food
