Smaller panels or paper offer good places to experiment. Every now and then, results lead to ideas for larger pieces. Sometimes I just keep piling on more layers. And sometimes they reach a point where I think they are ready to show and sell.

The panels I'm working on now are in various stages, but each one has a good number of thin layers of pigment. Some have a thick layer or two of wax over or in between colored layers. A few include collaged elements. Depending on how they evolve over the next few weeks, they may be on display during the Hot Shops open house December 5 and 6. Please stop in between noon and 8 p.m. Saturday or between noon and 6 p.m. on Sunday that weekend.
