If you’ve wondered why I’ve been posting only on Mondays for the past several weeks, it’s because during that period I’ve been consumed with the annual encaustic painting conference I founded and run, now happily in co-production with Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill on Cape Cod. Conference 5, held in its new home at the Provincetown Inn, was a huge, honking success. (Pause to smile and exhale.) Some 250 conferees came from 38 states and five countries; there were 28 talks and demos, several panel discussions, a hotel fair at theInn by and for the conferees, five gallery shows in town, half a dozen articles in local and regional publicatons, and five days of post-conference workshops at Castle Hill. (The tip of the Cape has pretty much become the Vatican of Wax. I'll have some links soon.)

Thank you! Nice to see Jackie Winsor again-and with Lynda Benglis, no less.
These photos are so beautiful! I wish I had seen all of these shows. I'm looking forward to more photos from each of them - I hope!
what a string of wonderful shows, and the Johns show, wow, love his grey works so much, perhaps living here in Seattle plays a role, or having worked with the Barney Ebsworth Collection a few years back, who knows, but all those shows look inspiring!
