Somewhere in Texas, Original Oil Painting by Joan Pechanec, 12 x 24 For three winters we have made the long drive from California to Alabama. This painting is from a photo taken from our car on the seemingly endless stretch of Highway 10 through Texas. We passed many isolated small towns with their ubiquitous water towers. I tried to convey the lonely, lost-in-another-time feeling these places evoke. I always wonder what it would be like to live in such a town.

Waterfall, Encaustic by Joan Pechanec, 11 X 14 x 2 1/2”$325 I chose to use encaustic for this semi-abstract image of a waterfall. I love the way the layers of wax create a misty effect on the cool greenish-blue of the water. I added thin rice papers and iridescent lights to create additional texture and surface reflection. I was interested in the way the negative spaces with the smooth sheen of the wax are juxtaposed with the thick textures. And, of course, the encaustic wax layers always create a lovely, mysterious mood.
