George Washington Bridge: Mixed Media Piece

trying my hand again mixing traditional silver prints with encaustic and oil paints. This one is 44"x44" and will be displayed in Hudson NY at The Cannonball Factory during Artswalk 2009 10/9-10/19. The encaustic (honey scented bees wax) is fused to the photo adding depth and luminosity to the paper. Oil stick is layered on the shadows and fused to the wax. The wax can be incised and etched and reworked forever.
