Poem on front under painting and on back by Christy Ann Martine

"You'll find my heart in the deepest of oceans,
the highest of mountains,
the tallest of trees.
I'm in love with the sun,
each star in the sky,
this beautiful world,
and the journey of life."

Guaranteed original painting, shipped directly from my studio.

Encaustic is a very old technique in which beeswax and damar resin are melted together, pigmented, and fused with heat on to a substrate. Some of these paintings have more than 40 layers of encaustic medium applied, each layer fused by a torch. Encaustic paintings will not deteriorate, yellow or darken with time. They do not have to be varnished or protected by glass. This painting will last a lifetime and more.

Thanks for looking!
