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.
