"I think everything in life is art. What you do.

How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party, Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art."

-Helena Bonham Carter

My encaustic art piece, gave it as a gift to a friend.

I learned two days ago that someone rediscovered cold wax encaustic back in the 2010s and I screeched like a pterodactyl.

Back in art school encaustic was my favorite type of painting but it was so messy and difficult to use compared to, say, acrylics, because you had to use heat. It was fun, the finish was so vibrant but the fact is that you can't use encaustic at home unless you have a studio.

And 48 hours ago I see a random ad trying to sell encaustic wax bars and I got nostalgic.

Did a search and found about this guy!

It seems he rediscovered how the romans did it (water-based, can be used cold) and there are paints and I have a need to paint for the first time in 20 years.

My encaustic art piece, with Dorje Tröllö. The incendiary holder of the Three Terrible Oaths: Whatever happens; may it happen! Whichever way it goes; may it go that way! There is no purpose! Ngak’chang Rinpoche comments: Whatever happens; may it happen, means that we do not make attempts at surreptitious deals with reality in which we delude ourselves that our practice will allow us to ‘live happily ever after’. Whichever way it goes; may it go that way, means that when we fall from the towering cliff of birth – we do not pretend that the end result of that fall is not death. There is no purpose, means that there is no one overriding, overarching, all inclusive – ‘purpose’. Reality is simply the dance of emptiness and form and compassion is the recognition that everything is its own purpose of itself. Each moment of reality is perfect as it is.
