Peace for Ukraine encaustic painting in light blue, yellow/gold, and featuring fabric butterflies.
Peace for Ukraine encaustic painting with artist's hand for size reference.

Peace for Ukraine | 8" x 8"

$125

This painting was created when the Russian invasion into Ukraine was very fresh. It features fabric butterflies, which remind me of peace, and the colors of the Ukraine flag. 

When painting in encaustic, each layer is fused with heat. This style of painting must be gently heated in order to preserve the delicate bumps that form from this technique.

This encaustic painting is 8" x 8" and is wired for hanging.

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.
