For many years an artist from Canada has been in my encaustic life . And a couple of years ago Antonin Sedlacik created a new wax medium called Master Paste Original . I have enjoyed using this paste , applied cold with a mixing knife and combined in this image with dry pigment . I did record the process of its creation in another of the YouTube videos on the
artsencaustic channel . The circle and rectangle were the starting concept . The rest emerged during the creative process .
I enjoy the fact that this is a slower paced evolution of work . It is quite a contrast to some of the more flowing and sometimes even frantic molten methods .

I have too many vogues and styles of encaustic approach to comfortably explain here , but it is the alchemic quality of the molten wax medium that has permeated my being . A medium is something between us and that which is other than us . It is an interface for manifestation . Encaustic wax paint is often the medium between me and my unexpressed potentials . I love watching what happens when I unleash those potentials . And I am happy that so many others worldwide have come to share some of that creative alchemic experience in their own unique manners . I want to conclude with thoughts and wishes to you .
Dream Well , Be Well , Stay Well and may you create with Beauty .
