If you are looking at some of my new encaustic paintings and wondering why I have switched subjects between flowers and dancers, the reason is simple. For quite awhile I have been wanting to try something new, to experiment, and as a personal goal I wanted to try more figurative work. This has meshed nicely with trying a new medium. The other reason is that I am part of a community of dancers - blues dancers to be exact - and wanted some of my experience of that to wash over into my paintings.

What do you think? Is it working? Not working?
