Encaustics










This is one of my early attempts at encaustic painting (painting with pigmented wax). The bee was drawn on tracing paper and imbedded into the wax with a layer of translucent wax over it. That came after several tries to carve/draw the bee into the wax itself. It is a fun but very different medium for me, and I am excited by the possibilities.
