Angie Painting

I love trees for they are all unique and in the springtime, they can be so vivid and colorful. I particularly love, wild cherry trees, magnolia and apple trees. This painting was created in honor of my new friendship with Angie. I also like working with encaustic, it is a wax-based paint, composed of : beeswax, resin and dry pigment. Encaustic is perhaps the most beautiful of all artists' paints, and it is as versatile as any 21st century medium. I create my own high-quality encaustic paint. It’s made with 100% pure pharmaceutical grade (USP) beeswax, which has been filtered without the use of chemicals and then I add a Singapore-grade damar resin. To create the various colours, I melt in the pigment into the encaustic medium. All of this results in the highest quality art paints.
