When I left home for my Seattle job 3 weeks ago, it was still hot and sunny here. I've been back a week, and I returned to a town encased in autumn, my favorite time of the year.
While in Seattle, I got to spend a day working at NW Encaustic Studio in West Seattle. I decided to look at color in a different way, not to be afraid of it (I tend to like brown and cream, over and over again). I love what I did, and it wasn't scary at all!

| Yummy earth tones, rusty looking! |
 |
| I am loving working with pan pastels, too...it's like finger painting! |
 |
| These were all enspired by an ad for ceramic tiles. |
It was freeing to try color, and the circles are raised, which is fun to do, but scary to pull off the tape!
 |
| This was inspired by an old oil painting of flowers, so faded I almost couldn't tell what they were. |
I am going to go for a walk now, to crunch some leaves under my feet...
