Art 09 photos and draw prize winner announcement

Art09, Metro Convention Centre in Toronto, On. Canada.  This is a recent show collaborative that I participated in with my brother, Soumen Karmakar, Photographer.   

My brother and I recently participated in a joint venture, exhibiting at the Art09, first annual show...we called our collaborative "WAXSCAPES"...he is a photographer, does lovely black and white landscape photography...and some colour too...we decided to try collaborating using wax and photography together.   It was a great beginning to maybe something larger one day.......I tried my hand at building wax on top of his photographs, one of which was of these lovely trees.  I built an image of a tree using the encaustic medium, which was 3-dimensional in nature...this piece sold at the show to a buyer from Florida..unfortunately we did not get a chance to photograph this piece before it went out into the world..but a small glimpse of it can be seen behind us in this shot above.
