This week I finally made it up to Greenville SC to visit the McDunn Gallery which is currently showing the encaustic paintings of Jane Allen Nodine. The show is titled Fire and Wax.

The show opened a couple of weeks ago but the good news it that it has been extended so you still have time to drop by and see this exciting new work. Here is a link to the gallery for hours, location and dates:

Jane is well known in South Carolina as well as the southeast and she is now making her name known on the national scene with her encaustic paintings. The work is rich and has the look of exotic stone. There are flashes of rust, gold and deep browns and many of the works have interesting pitted surfaces. These surfaces are played against the soft sheen of the buffed wax. Jane's elegant sense of composition is pulls all the parts together making a very cohesive collection.
