| Encaustic Circle Newsletter - April 2012 |
Dear ,
it's Good Friday and a glorious day here in the Okanagan. The air is crisp and clear; there's still some snow on the far-away mountains. And I just heard a woodpecker in our neighbour's garden!

I hope you will enjoy the holidays in good company of friends and family, or, as an alternative, by spending some time painting.

The past four weeks I stirred up my creative juices by taking an online Art Journal workshop with Judy Wise. The amount of mixed media techniques she has at her fingertips is mind-boggling!
I had a blast messing about in my journal, learning about decorating the pages in many ways, and about myself through journal prompts. No wax involved (yet...)
It is very inspiring to try something completely different: highly recommended!
This was one of my pages.
The little girl is me, and the text on the balloon says: Don't look back, you're not going that way.
A very fitting quote, all things considered...;-))
Happy painting!
