Studio visitors always want to reach out and touch my paintings. They’re surprised when I say it's OK. Unlike other painting media, encaustic is impervious to moisture and the oil on your fingers won’t harm the paintings at all. . www.marciacrumleyart.com/small-works/... . #painting #encaustic

Autumn in New England is hard to beat. The drought has meant more muted colors in real life this year, but not on my easel! These encaustics are in all sizes - from 6” x 6” to 30” x 40”. Some are in galleries, some on marciacrumleyart.com Message me with any questions. . #painting #autumn #encaustic

@marciacrumleyart.bsky.social Hiya. I see you do encaustic painting. Love your work! I'm just starting with it. I have Qs about fumes, best/correct/cheapest tabletop fume extractor and hazards to pets (cats/dogs). I'll occasionally do small projects in my kitchen. May I ask for your advice?
