Creative Pitstop, Kitchens for Living on the Road and Encaustic Painting

We interupt our regularly scheduled programing  to tell you about my latest great adventure.  On an endless pursuit of creative motivation, I just returned from an amazing and inspiring visit to Provincetown and Boston.  I was in P-Town for the 7th International Encaustic Conference and in Boston to visit my sweet cousin, her hubs and their brand new (6 months) old baby boy.This is an encaustic and oil mixed media painting. Encaustic painting involves painting with beeswax, resin and pigment. Early encaustic paintings date back to 50AD and it predates oil painting! Who knew? Anyway I love it because of the versatility and sensuousness of it.One of the first encaustic paintings from 50AD as seen in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. These portraits were found on mummys!    Can't visit P-Town without some of this! A new day, from the deck of my room at the Provincetown InnIn Boston I also got to visit the MFA (Museum of Fine Art) and the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art)  I had a great time.  Saw some fantastic art and will be posting all the pics on Flickr so stay tuned!  Tomorrow we will be back to business with this Kitchen designer's Tip #2:  New Cabinets, All or Nothing?
