A CANDLE
a day?

One of the things I miss most about being able to shop at the Farmer’s Market or local orchard during the winter is the ability to get wax-free fruit.  When I see a waxed apple, I have to assume it is really old.  Yes, fruit is waxed to make it “pretty” for consumers, but it is also done to seal in moisture and preserve “weight” for as much as a year.  Pick the ugly fruit, please.  This next Call uses wax in a much better way.  Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Conrad Wilde Gallery (Tucson, AZ) for their 8th Annual Encaustic Invitational.  This show is curated, not juried, and could be a great opportunity…
