Encaustic Art

Encaustic Art -

Over 2000 years ago the ancient Greek, Egyptians and Romans

 used beeswax as a painting medium.

  It was melted, colored with earth pigments

 and used to create pictures.

These images are produced by melting

 colored beeswax onto an iron

 and applying it to a non-absorbent surface.

 The resulting layers create unique and surprising images.

I love to paint - I love to paint because it makes me happy!
