I found I could say things with colors and shapes that I couldn't say any other way. Things I had no words for.

I wasn't satisfied with the original painting on the encaustic board, so I tried washing off the pigment. Unfortunately, that only worked very poorly. I then primed the board again with Qor Aquarelle Ground. That worked even worse, and it resulted in a lot of vertical lines. However, as I thought about this motif, I realized the lines would fit the subject well.

Happy people built their inner world,
Unhappy people blame their outer world.

My intention with this portrait was to show the power of being one with yourself.
