For Someone Beautiful

Commissioned Painting -- "Beautiful" -- 24x24 encaustic painting & collage on wood.

This is my newest encaustic piece and a commission for a very special customer. There are many, many layers in this painting -- tons of collaged material beneath the wax and many finely etched details within as well. My favorite part is the little family on the right side. The daughter's name is very, very lightly carved into the wax on her skirt. She may not even see this detail until she's all grown up. :) I'll need to take a few more photos of the painting so that the details are evident -- but I liked the way it looked sitting on our hardwood floor against the white walls of the dining room, so I thought I would share!

And tonight is my last call for Found Art Friday submissions. Just leave a comment with your idea for our April theme, and I will do a random drawing tomorrow! xox
