Encaustic Art

This encaustic painting is straight out of the woods of Michigan. Traveling between art fairs and galleries, I see a lot of Michigan’s pure nature and this particular landscape was inspired by a strip of trees on I-75 about 150 north of Detroit. It is highly textured with multiple layers of encaustic wax, some of which has been carved back to create a 3-D like painting, very unique to encaustic.
