This original art piece uses my photographs of two feathers - one black, and one white, against blue backgrounds. The piece features layers of encaustic (beeswax) medium and oil pigments. The feather has incised details. Edges of the piece are in midnight blue oil paint and feature drips from the hot beeswax medium, which adds to the tactile nature of the finished piece.
The encaustic wax encases the images, and each new layer lets the layers below show through. Encaustic pieces offer a wonderful depth, texture, and tactile nature for the viewer to enjoy.
These small original art pieces are interesting on their own, or you can select several of your favorites to create an interesting and unique art collection when placed together on your wall - see photos for an example featuring some of my 4 x 4 mini encaustic pieces.
I use copies of my photos (so as not to destroy the originals with the heat of the wax and fuser) and when objects like keys and hardware are included, they are authentic vintage pieces. On cradled birch board, signed, ready for hanging.
