Original Art Piece
Encsaustic on wood panel.
24x24x1.50"
Home, At Last, a title taken from a Steely Dan song, seemed a fitting title for this piece, as if one is coming back to shore on a boat, ship, canoe.
Encaustic is an ancient Greco-Roman painting medium, consisting of pigment mixed into bees-wax and a natural hardener, damar. The medium must be melted to paint with it, then fused with a torch or heat gun to adhere it to the substrate.
The flow of the pigmented, melted beeswax while painting is very much like moving clouds, wind, and water, thus my motivation to paint water against the sky. Though intended to be an abstract, I can easily see how this piece could be taken as a landscape.
