Original artwork description:

This encaustic painting is part of a series on images of the Earth from space, in this case, clearly, my abstract rendering of the ocean with dynamic winds moving various cloud formations about, as if a storm were beginning to form. I've used thermal energy (through the process of fusing the various layers of pigmented beeswax plus damar resin) and air currents (heat gun), as well as relying on the mineral differences that come from the pigments themselves. I've added powdered pigments and oil stick, and thus this work is more a re-creation that a representation. Multi-layered and complex, extraordinary detail is made visible. Signed and dated on the back, ready to hang, this painting ships with a digitally-register Certificate of Authenticity.

Materials used:

encaustic paint, powdered pigment, oil stick, cradled basswood panel
