The work of Matt Duffin is amazing. He works with encaustic wax and the subjects as well as his technique are extremely intriguing.

Susan, thank you so much for the wonderful picture I am sure the colours will inspire me in my art jewellery. Gourds don’t get that big over here and I have never seen any that colour.
All the best for the future and I hope you are feeling better soon.
