Much of the work on this page was completed in 2000. New approaches and experiments in technique led to different and interesting outcomes. Most of these images were done inthe Spring of 2001 but a couple were added in December 2001.

These 2 paintings were produced by Elisabeth in the latter part of 2001.

Careful painting of this beautiful avenue of oaks was helped by the ability to alter the wax at any time during the process. This allowed improved light and depth within the image.

Elisabeth uses the iron and stylus, hot air and a large glass topped hot plate for much of her work. On the hotplate she uses direct wax application, hair brushes, sponges, tissues, scrapers, rollers and many other domestic items that "come to hand"
