Carefully
for Closeness
This is an original mixed-media encaustic painting, made with beeswax, encaustic medium, oil paint, graphite, and precious salvaged materials: old maps of the Seattle area and Tacoma, sheet music, text from antique magazines, pieces of an ancient receipt book, and other rescued scraps that I've collected along the way.
The painting is 16" tall x 8" wide x 1.75" deep (40.6 cm tall x 20.3 cm wide x 4.4 cm deep), on a sturdy handmade wooden panel. The sides are unpainted, revealing a light wood treated with linseed oil for a very subtle shine. The painting is ready to hang, with a neat wire across the back. No framing necessary! It is signed and dated by me on the back. Made in 2011.
The painting has a luminous quality, as you can see layers of collage materials beneath many coats of delicious-smelling beeswax.
I create, handle, wrap, and ship all my work with utmost respect and care. If you have any particular needs and/or requests related to purchasing this piece, I am open to hearing them and will do my very best to meet your needs.
If you live outside of U.S. or Canada, please let me know your location and I am happy to calculate the shipping cost for you!
