New Encaustic-Just Started

Here is my latest painting. I've decided that for my thesis work that I will concentrate on using encaustic. I've also moved into large format to be able to do this. This one is of three figures, only two are really visible at this point. I have a bit of work on them yet but so far it is going REALLY well considering I don't know exactly what I am doing. The models are Jordan, Esther and Esther and I am thinking of calling this painting 'The Three Fates'. Right now I am researching a bit more on that end of it. As well I am reading up on Orientalism. So much to do in getting ready for my thesis paper. I'll keep posting this one as I work on it. I want it finished for midterm. Tomorrow I leave for London so I won't be posting updates for at least 10 days.
