Encaustics in San Francisco

I'm in beautiful San Francisco doing my art thing - attending the International Encaustic Artists retreat. I bought two gorgeous new books, have heard inspiring talks and discussions, have met fellow encaustic artists, and will have an opportunity to tour studios on Sunday.

Tomorrow will be more meetings, a vendors room, and maybe a little time to run to Sax.

I hope to buy a new torch - not from Sax, obviously.

Very exciting.

San Francisco is amazingly warm! Hot even. This is the first time I have not felt very cold here! The weather is so nice tonight that other artists and I walked the several miles from China Town to our hotel. Beautiful!

I've been trying to eat mindfully. Not easy here.

  1. Hope you are having a wonderful time....I was in Santa Fe recently taking Paula Roland's intermediate workshop...was fantastic, sure you will run into her there. Came across your blog as a google "hit" with the word encaustic this morning. Wish I could be there, but my pocketbook took a hit from Santa Fe. Sure you are meeting wonderful people. If you come across Ruth Goozh, from San Diego area, say "hey" from Susan.

    Am at the same stage of life as you so felt a kinship.

    Enjoy, enjoy!
