Added a 9′ x2.5′ table and now I have tables around the whole studio! One of which converts to a full size table saw.
New studio set up!

Earth Day
Happy Earth Day! These are the closed outer panels of Bosch’s, “Garden of Earthly Delights”, 1504. While Bosch had a pretty unique world view, it means a lot to me to see imagery like this along side of our knowledge of space and exploration. Have we changed so much? Searching for understanding through our creation stories and science, I am still in awe of how to contemplate it.

New Website and Plans for 2013
Ushering in the new year I thought it was time for a change. I just made a new website, now with bigger pictures and more work. If you have a moment check it out. I would love any feedback, I am still dialing in the background and organization. www.VincentColvin.com
This year I am preparing for my first large scale solo show in July at the Southwest School of Art in San Antonio, Texas and I am applying for a number of Artist in Residence Programs in our National Parks. I’ll be posting new work as I go along. Here’s to what I hope will be a productive year!
Latest Work in Progress, +9 ft Encaustic!
-
- Cutting the 4.5′ plank of ash down to two planks to make my diptych surfaces
-
- After some huffing and puffing at the hand saw, two nicely cut planks
-
- Clamping up the support cradles, made in stained cedar and the jointed with dowels.
-
- The Ash wood I chose has the right coloring and grain pattern for the look I wanted but apparently it also has a lot of open pores in the wood grain containing air. When heated they are releasing into the wax resulting in pits.
-
- So I am going over each one and cold tooling hot wax into the pits and then fusing and re-leveling, resulting in a smooth surface.
-
- Second Round of Drawing Transfers, so far there are over 40!
-
- Full View of the piece in progress, the piece is a diptych totaling about 9.5 ft long
-
- Example of where the piece is headed. I am 40 prints into it and I plan to add about another 40+
