Marks of Grace

This original 8x8 encaustic wax painting features a soft ivory field with warm amber washes, a bold black cross-like form, and a gold leaf accent that glows as the light shifts. Subtle tally marks and pressed texture add a quiet, time-worn feel. Finished in a gold-and-black float frame for a gallery-ready look.

What is encaustic wax?

Encaustic is an ancient art process using beeswax fused with pigment and sealed with heat. Each layer is melted and bonded to the one beneath it, creating a durable, luminous surface with rich depth and texture you can’t replicate with acrylic paint or prints.
