This evening I have a show of my encaustic paintings at our library entitled From Dreams and Memories.
This is one of the encaustic paintings from the show. It measures 36 inches by 36 inches by 2 inches.
The yellow bird is painted with oils directly onto the encaustic wax. The birdbath was carved into the wax and the leaves were made with a batik tool that creates raised images on top of the green encaustic beeswax.
It should be a fun evening with friends, wine and goodies.
Sure wish I could be there and see your artwork in person! Love this one! Have a really good day.
ReplyDeleteThis is really gorgeous! I have always wondered about encaustic painting other than the hot iron crayon sort that we did as kids...WOW the possibilities! Rich and pleasing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture. I enjoy the simplicity of it.
ReplyDeleteThat bird is so vibrant! I love the green color as well. Seems kind of different for you.
