Martha Rea Baker has recently returned from two weeks in Spain where she visited Bilbao, Barcelona and Malaga on the Costa del Sol. While in Malaga she created intimate encaustics on paper inspired by the light, colors and landscape of this beautiful Mediterranean coastal town.
A selection of these “poured” wax paintings is posted below.
A second, more abstract, quartet was finished the first week after Martha returned to her studio in Santa Fe, NM.
Eighteen small encaustic works on paper have been shipped to Brown’s Fine Art in Jackson MS to be debuted on November 20th at “Fondren Unwrapped”, the annual Holiday Open House.

What lovely, simple works! (We know that simple does not imply easy.) And what a treat to have a workshop in such a beautiful part of the world.

Thanks, Mary Anne. The technique of “pouring” hot wax on paper is a bit tricky! It forces simplicity since about 3 pours is the most successful!
I loved your fused glass “wave” piece! The pouring reminds me a bit of glass with the translucency–but not as clear and sharp, of course!
