Encaustic wax, oil paint, shellac on wood

31”x 41”

This romantic encaustic painting evokes the quiet poetry of a distant sea horizon. Black stones, each tenderly bound with copper wire, rest like whispered thoughts across the textured shore. A slender copper rod traces the meeting of sea and sky, grounding the soft, dreamlike blues above with a warm metallic glow. Crafted from raw, tactile materials, the piece radiates stillness and longing—an invitation to pause, breathe, and drift into calm.
