Hot molten wax was applied with an iron to a canvas box. The sides have been included in the painting so that you can hang it straightaway and look from every angle to be drawn in. The blown effect was achieved by using a hot air instrument whilst the grasses where added using a hot stylus.

The encaustic painting is 11.5" square and 1" deep. This painting would be perfect in either a domestic environment, a home or an office.

Encaustic art is created using beeswax which has been melted and worked with heated tools to create individual effects. To protect the wax surface this painting has been painted with a wax sealer to stop it scratching.

I have tried to take the photographs to display the pieces as accurately as possible. However, colours may vary between monitors.

Last year I decided to enter an art competition on Facebook and this was one of those entries!

The last photograph in the series shows where I got my inspiration whilst out walking in the local woods.
