Encaustic Wax and photographic image transfers

I have been working on a new medium that combines my love of painting with my love of photography.  Images are of the vineyards here at the ranch as well as animals that live here and or ones that we have seen while traveling or with treasures from the ocean from my many walks on the beach here in Malibu.

Painting BIG

I have started painting very large canvases 48 x 60 and larger. Love painting the animals and scenery of the ranch. The lighting at sunset and sunrise is just beautiful and creates a beautiful image on landscape and the animals. Hope to do an art show at our Malibu Wine Tasting Room this summer.

Semler and Saddlerock Mural

We are ready to start painting on the other side of our 18 wheeler 53 foot tractor trailer mural. It has been a very rewarding experience to airbrush a mural of our Vineyards at Saddlerock. The first side of the trailer we painted a mural of the vineyards at high noon with bottles of Saddlerock on top of the background. The second side which we are starting this week is going to be sunset at Saddlerock Ranch with vineyards and bottles of the Semler Wines. The kids will be painting on some of the larger portions of the mural. This mural has been a very rewarding experience can you imagine painting by airbrush on a 53 foot long canvas? We are using 3 different size airbrushes for the mural. The first side of the truck trailer will be featured in our Malibu Family Wines ad in the LA Magazine for the November edition. I will continue to post work in progress photos of the second side of our trailer.

Happy Painting!
