oh hello again

Here are some small encaustic paintings I did a while back.  I'm still experimenting with different techniques with the wax, and meanwhile am back into oil painting.  Wax and cold weather aren't as compatible as I had hoped.  I'll start posting some more oil paintings tomorrow.  I'm not outright promising a new 'nearly daily painting', but secretly just between you and me, that's what I'm hoping for.  So, I need to get to painting tonight, just as soon as I tear myself away from harpoon lagoon.

Happy Easter

Dear sadly neglected blog.
We had a lovely Spring brunch yesterday. We are lucky enough to have fabulous cooks as friends, and had an insanely plentiful potluck spread.

I tried out a sticky bun recipe from the Bon Appetit Cookbook I got from the library. I get nervous with anything that requires flipping after baking, but they were so tasty that any malformations in the flipping went unnoticed.
