"Poppies A Field, " Abstract Encaustic Painting

2021

This abstract encaustic painting with copper and silver leaf is made on board, and is framed in a warm silver floater frame. The piece itself measures 20" x 20", and is 21.25" x 21.25" framed. It features a contrasting palette, with muted mint green, teal, pink, red, and sienna brown. Brush strokes and shapes are layered over top of one another while some portions appear to be scraped back, to create this textured abstract piece. It is wired and ready to hang. Encaustic literally means to “burn in”, from the Greek word, "enkaustikos." This name comes from the fact that in encaustic painting, each layer must be fused with heat to the layer beneath it. The base medium which is used for encaustic painting is primarily made from beeswax. The wax is mixed with damar resin which is crystallized sap from fir trees. The damar resin provides hardness while the wax provides luminosity. Encaustic art can be made with only this clear combination or mixed with high quality pigments. An encaustic “purist” will tell you that true encaustic painting must involve pigment but I would disagree because I love the qualities of even just the clear beeswax. Often combined with other mediums such as photography, painting in other mediums, and collage, encaustic paintings are coveted due to their luminosity, rich texture, and naturally aromatic smell.
