 | I have been asked to display some of this work at the Annual Art Display for Day Centres, held at Belfast's Waterfront Hall.
I came up with two framed pieces for the display. This first piece I called "Four Seasons." From left to right I have Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. In these pieces, I tried to capture the 4 seasons just using colour. |
 | Normally I would display some of my Pastel work in the show, but this year I had a special request to display some Encaustic. I call this one "Pretty as a Postcard".
|
| A WORD OF WARNING
Under no circumstances try to use a domestic house hold iron for this medium. Encaustic waxes melt at 60-75C ( 140-170F). Heated tools for Encaustic work must therefore operate at a low temperature. Young children can have great fun with this medium, as long as they are properly supervised. This medium is SO easy to use and you see great results right from the beginning. |

| Joe has recently discovered the joy of encaustic painting. He also enjoys working in pastels and is always looking for ways to expand his skills in his favorite media. Lately he has been busy with making Sculptures, along with rediscovering his past delights in Stained Glass and Scratchboards. | |
