The soothing blues and turquoise of the ocean and the sound of the waves always calms my soul.... Many layers of encaustic, oil stick, pan pastel, shellac with mica powders give this painting wonderful depth and the translucent nature that encaustic is known for. Wired and ready to hang, no need to frame. The sides are finished in black. Encaustic is a wax-based paint made of beeswax, resin and pigment. The medium is heated to about 170 degrees Fahrenheit and kept in a molten state for painting. Encaustic medium is applied in thin layers to a rigid surface such as wood (usually cradled wood panels). Each layer is fused to those below with heat – most commonly a torch, hot iron or heat gun. Some of these paintings have 40 or more layers. These layers create a beautiful sense of depth, texture and translucency that is hard to achieve with other mediums. Encaustic paintings are archival, water resistant and will not deteriorate, yellow or darken with time. They do not need to be varnished or protected by glass and will last for many life times.

The Translucent nature of encaustic wax completed my journey back to my artistic soul. The fire of the torch used to fuse the layers, fires my spirit and my imagination. Translucence also applies to cold wax and glass mosaics in my studio these days also.
