The next chair in the series...Conditional Love


This is a study for the third chair in the series. This is the chair of Conditional Love. Love that binds and torments. Love that is toxic.
This is that chair. The inspiration for this chair came from personal situations in my life. This whole series has struck a chord with everyone that has seen them. We all at one time or another have sat in Angry Chairs, in Lonely Chairs; we've all known that cold,merciless and trapped feeling of the Chair of Conditional Love.
If it hasn't been we ourselves who have experienced it, we can all think of someone who has been in that seat. It leaves scars that never go away.

The America's Greatest Artist Search

The American Idol of the art world is coming to a city near most of us. They pick out artists to compete American Idol style, for a trip to Las Vegas to represent their city.
Well, I'm going to be in the Portland stop, at the Aura bar on Burnside, May 6th at 8:00 pm. This should be fun! I'll be showing and demonstrating encaustic, with my torches and some shellac, for the pyrotechnics part, yeah!
Here's the link, http://www.mysoiree.net/contests.php.
This should be fun!
