Amethyst - encaustic w/ mixed media 2009

Today’s gem is Amethyst. When I look at this piece there is a subtle romantic quality to it that speaks to me. Many of these gem pieces are more like studies for what will become much larger versions of them in the future. I am going to recreate this image as a 24” x 24” panel. I have a few of these large panels started already and they are waiting for me to return to the studio. Hope I can get some studio time in soon. I am still busy with the other side of things today. I will post an image from the botanical series tomorrow.
