What to Do with Driftwood



Surf's Up, encaustic and acrylic on driftwood, 19"x27", 2008

Paint on it, of course! After a trip to British Columbia where I loaded up on driftwood, I wanted to make a piece reminiscent of an old fence in a surfer's backyard.


Hook, 19"x4", 2008

More of the Canadian driftwood I found, along with a few other objects from various collectings-- fashioned into something more utilitarian--a hook. Just sayin'...

  1. Oh wow, beautiful! I love the look of the paint and encaustic on the top one...so painterly and gestural with interesting details showing through.
