Wax painting part three
Here's another few paintings using the same wax technique that I've been using over the past few months. I've learned that almost anything is possible, as long as you can imagine what it would look like in wax first. Whether it's just a random abstract that turns out, or not, or if you have a specific image in mind, it just has to be translated from real life to wax. Sounds weird.
It's not really that weird, it's just like trying to translate colour into black and white for a drawing or an ink rendering. You have to find the light and shade, dimension and texture in the real or imagined image and translate it with a big freaking candle that's most likely going to drip on your fingers in the process.
This waxing has to be pushed further to see what its limitations are, so far, it's going well and under control, in a completely out-of-control way. It doesn't just sound weird, it is weird.

Spoken like a true artist! My brain so doesn't work this way, but I love what you are doing.
More incredible work! I love the Medicine Wheel. Looks like fun to do too!
