#12 - Turquoise Vein


April 28th, 2014: Oil on Board, 6" x 6".  This is another one of those subjects that might only be recognized by some.  The fact is, I tried to paint this little chunk of beeswax today, twice, and in the end I wiped them both off and settled for painting a rock.  Beeswax is apparently really hard to paint, at least for me.  At least I had a special rock to paint, some Manassa Turquoise I found myself, in its natural state, as a vein in some host rock.  I like the thick paint I ended up with.  Maybe I'll get back to the beeswax some day!
