Bees wax painting! Feedback please

I have been working on this 12"x12" canvas for almost a year. I do something then put it away. I got some new "Pan Pastels" and decided to do some layering over the bees wax.

What do you think?

Faye said...: Peggy, this is one of my very favorites of all your work. I wish I knew what you layered over beeswax. Acrylics? colored wax? Is this a picture that you covered with wax? Whatever it is, it is simply amazing. Frame it and hang it on the wall. Gorgeous.; July 16, 2010 at 12:20 PM
