Try that again ... pleased to say I will be exhibiting these encaustic paintings for the 'Beyond The Window'  exhibition at Sakura Studio Gallery, Stonham Barns, Suffolk from Sunday 25th May to Saturday 7th June

This place does seem very 'American-centric' atm ... are there any Brits out there??

'Fake Plastic Trees'*

There is something fundamentally wrong with Instagram at the moment ... I've gone from having over 300 followers last October to +- 170 today ... admittedly I have 'purged' a few fake/bot followers (maybe 10) ... ffs what's going on?!

'Party .. '
Encaustic, monotype and shellac burn on mdf board
31x31x5cm
About 13x13x1/2"

'Wanderlust'
oils, inks, shellac burn, microcrystalline wax on 6x6" cradled beechwood panel.

Encaustic painting is such a mysterious and wild medium to immerse onself in.

@dclaffey.bsky.social Lovely!!

By way of back story, I left the dark side over 15 years ago ... never got into it. IG seemed like a better option, but it's now flooded with ads and twisted algorithms. I don't post every five minutes and quite unsure of the basics here, but I'll catch on ... eventually. Bear with.

'Glowing Places -1'
Ceracolors water-mixable encaustic paint, beeswax medium and graphite on beechwood panel

Only my second post on BlueSky and nothing like the images so far posted on #standingstonesunday here's Bodowyr ..
Neolithic dolmen in a farmer's field on the north Wales island of Anglesey. It is located at Bodowyr Farm, 1.25 mi east of Llangaffo, off the B4419 road.

First post here on BlueSky and thought it would be appropriate to share this photo of Sunrise over a cloud bank .. looking across fields from my house in Norfolk, UK ... howdy
