Still obsessing about Common Thistle...

...but now I have added bees wax to my paint in the form of Cold Wax Medium. For a painter that likes to draw, paint with a knife and occasionally use a brush it is simply "yummy". I can go back into pieces and work in a way that I could not do before. 

The above piece is 12"x24". Here is a close up of the surface below. The wax adds a quality to the surface that I am really liking.
