First, I found http://planetjanetart.com/ at the first Thursday art walk a couple months ago, and I fell in love with her work. Her art, and some photographs, were the only things that really caught my attention in the entire 619 building (partially because Donald Holman isn’t there anymore). I even took an encaustic class with her, of which everything I created I hated, and I decided, much like children, that I am glad there are other people in the world creating beautiful encaustics, so I don’t have to.

Now, through the joys of craigslist, I have discovered http://bridgewindsoup.com/, who appears to be doing similarly impossible-to-me things with watercolor, or at least watered down somethingorothers. I freaking love his artwork, and apparently he’s looking for a place to live in Seattle ’cause he’s moving here to go to art school. Far as I can tell, this kid doesn’t need art school. Sheesh.

In progress. Sat down after coming home from massage work and started on this one, painting outside on the deck. I stopped when it got dark, then picked up again after wasting an hour on another canvas I ended up rinsing off.

Requires a smoothing coat and repair in the upper left, but basically done.
