art challenge; 3 works from the 1990's, 3rd of 5 posts... in the late 80's I began using natural materials in my art work; beeswax with natural pigments based on Goethe's color wheel and other natural materials like leaves, grasses, wood and metal in the natural environment...

I'm inviting Destry Shannon Sparks, Richard Sassoon and Joan Millette to the art challenge...
