So cool. Makes me think of so many things. I was listening to music as I was going through these and it was very thought provoking. These would be interesting to see animated– do they settle or move as they are being created?
With these particular pieces I slowly heat up the entire piece with the heat gun. At some point the wax and pigment start to literally move like lava and it begins to boil. This is where the heat gun turns into a kind of paintbrush. Its hard to describe what happens after that. I try to just go with the creative flow and stay out of my critical mind’s way.

Wow – I love these paintings.. they’re sort of other-worldly and the luminescence is amazing – and the colors!
