This is made by layering many layers of Encaustic Wax Medium on a wooden board, then stamping Poppy flower pods into the warmed wax, filling the indentations with pigmented waxes, layering on even more, then scraping it all back to reveal this image as you see it. This peice is sized at 6" x 6", and can be hung as is in any of the 4 directions (because sometimes you just don't know which way is up!). If you do choose to frame it, I recommend this painting be placed in a front loading frame where the wax will not be pressed against any surface.

Encaustic is an ancient medium that, if cared for well, will last a very very very long time (some still exist from ancient egyptian tombs). No, it will not melt on your wall, and,yes, I will send you an "about and caring for" information sheet with every purchase, just to make it easy.

If you are able to pick up this item, shipping charges will be refunded (send me a note, push "contact" to make any arrangements)
