Switching Off and Letting the Ink Speak

The first encaustic painting captures a peaceful rural scene full of texture and atmosphere. In the foreground, a pair of sheep stand among lush green foliage, their wool beautifully rendered with layered wax that gives them a tactile, three-dimensional presence. A winding path leads the eye toward a traditional stone cottage with a bright red door, nestled among rolling hills. The sky above is dramatic and moody. The second encaustic painting depicts a striking seascape bathed in soft golden light. Waves surge and break in rich, layered textures, capturing the energy and unpredictability of the sea. On a rocky outcrop stands the Tower of Refuge, weathered but steadfast against the elements. Built originally to shelter shipwreck victims and as a warning for ships. The sky glows with warm yellows merging into greys, giving the sense of dawn or dusk settling over the water. The wax layers create a vivid sense of motion and atmosphere, making the scene feel both powerful and serene.
