A Special Visitor

What a treat to have my dear friend and colleague, Louise Lamontagne join me in the studio. She set up a make-shift encaustic work space and created some fantastic landscapes! We were working in the two oldest forms of painting: encaustic and egg tempera in the same space. Very cool. To see more of her impressive works check out her website at www.louiselamontagne.net
