Historical Novel
$16.00 ** SOLD FOR FULL PRICE **
“How Teddy Took Panama” by David Adamson Harper is a highly recommended read for anyone interested in the history of Panama and the Canal. The book tells the story of the founding of the Republic of Panama, artfully interwoven with a highly plausible plot of how Teddy Roosevelt enabled the rebels in Panama to secede from Colombia but gave the USA the Canal Zone in the process. The author goes one better than the history books, adding a sub plot of Teddy’s handsome clandestine agent and his adventures in Panama which involve intrigue, bloodshed, passion and love. Available at Amazon.com.

Encaustic Painting
$110.00 ** SOLD FOR FULL PRICE **
“Downtown” • 10" x 10" • Encaustic paint and silver leaf on wood panel by Robyn Cole. Encaustic painting uses hot beeswax to which colored pigments are added. This wax is then applied to a surface, usually wood or hardboard, using a variety of techniques and tools. Heated tools can be used to manipulate the wax after it has cooled. What makes encaustic wax painting so versatile is the many possibilities for adding materials to the wax using encaustic collage techniques, layering, embedding, intaglio and others. Its luminosity and richness make this a most unique medium.
Robyn Cole is an award-winning mixed media artist based out of Boquete and Glendale, California.
