On October 11th at 7:00 PM, Gallery in the Loft continues its lecture series with painter Jeannie Burham, who will deliver a talk entitled "Everything Old is New Again: The Art of Encaustic Painting." 

Contemporary encaustic painting is the application of melted, pigmented wax to a prepared surface. Over 2000 years ago in Greece and Egypt, art masterpieces were created by working over open fires with handmade tools. In the 1960s, Jasper Johns' images of the American flag were painted in encaustic and collage.  Encaustic paint can be applied in very thin layers, thick layers, sculpted, carved or incised.

Come to the lecture, listen and learn, bring questions, and see all the great art on display in the gallery. The free lecture begins at 7:00 PM sharp, and reservations are recommended as seating is limited. Call 360-631-0688 or email doris@galleryintheloft.com. Located at Brindles Marketplace, 848 N. Sunrise Blvd (Terry's Corner), on Camano Island.
