The month of October is Atlanta Celebrates Photography month. During this month there are several gallery exhibits and public displays of photography all around the Atlanta area. The Atlanta Artists Center also participated. I went ahead a reluctantly entered one of my photo encaustic pieces into their juried show. Low and behold I won an Honorable Mention award! The photos in this piece are a combination of my husbands and mine, http://denslens.com. To create this piece I painted several layers of wax on a wood panel. I then applied the photos to the wax in layers and painted more layers of wax on top. I then carved into those layers adding more color and dimension.
I don’t think I’ll hold back in the future anymore!
