Gilded Joy | 20" x 20"

$460

This piece comes alive as the viewer interacts with the painting. Changing vantage points allow the light to dance off different areas of texture, creating a sense of the piece coming alive as light shifts on the textured surface. 

I combined my affinity for the giddy joy of having ALL the colors, with multiple applications of gold. There is a gold sheen over the entire piece, as the texture grabbed on to bits of metallic pastel. The final touch is a drip of additional gold.

Gilded Joy is 20"x 20" and is wired for hanging.

Encaustic FAQs

Important shipping notes:

Encaustic is sensitive to temperature extremes, so shipping is sometimes delayed to Monday or Tuesday in order to avoid your art sitting on a truck over a weekend or holiday.

If your painting was subjected to temperature extremes during shipping, it's best to allow your package to acclimate to a temperature-controlled environment for 12-24 hours before opening. This minimizes the potential for damage during handling.

Where to hang your art:

Hot temperatures can cause the wax to soften, and cold temperatures can cause it to become brittle and more prone to chipping.

UV rays can fade certain pigments, and direct sunlight often causes excessive heat, which can soften your painting.

Tips to maintain encaustic paintings:

For the first 1-2 years, the wax in your painting will continue to bloom. Buff using a clean lint-free cloth (like a t-shirt), or even the palm of your hand (remove jewelry first!)

Sometimes the structure of the painting can't withstand buffing. In these cases, it's best to skip buffing the delicate areas.
