Shannon Larratt is Zentastic

So I've been experimenting with encaustic painting (paiting with wax) as you can see below. Not that there aren't exceptions, but most of the encaustic painting I've seen, well, really sucks, so I've been trying new techniques and new formulations of wax, as well as new methods of application including applying it dry and “painting” with a heat gun.

There's still 20-40 hours in this painting potentially… it's either going to be one of the best things I've ever done (so far) or one of the worst. Ha. But I have invented a completely new method of painting (not shown here, but once I prove my “invention” I'll post it) that I'll need a little more hardware for but should be able to produce something wild….
