Original Encaustic Painting, "Learning", by International Encaustic Artist, Donna L. Martin

"Learning"

This is an original encaustic abstract painting. It is bright and beautiful with spring flowers popping out of a green meadow!

Encaustic is the medium which consists of molten beeswax, resin, and pigments that are fused after application into a continuous layer and fixed to a support (wood) with heat. This achieves a lustrous enamel appearance. The word 'encaustic' comes from the Greek and means to burn in, which refers to the process of fusing the paint. Encaustic paintings can be polished to a high gloss, molded, sculpted, textured and combined with collage materials. Encaustic is also the most durable of artist's paint and an excellent investment. This is due to the fact that beeswax is impervious to moisture. Because of this it will not deteriorate, it will not yellow, and it will not darken. Encaustic paintings do not have to be varnished or protected by glass. If your painting looks dull, or gets dirty it can be wiped clean with a soft cloth dampened with water and buffed to a high shine.

This painting measures 10X20.
The purchase price is $220 and includes shipping within the continental United States.

Flying Free and Finding My Voice

Fly Free I have always been one of those people who is naturally shy. It may have a little to do with the way we were raised, we were always told that children "are to be seen and not heard". Growing up in that culture, I've always had trouble expressing what I'm feeling or saying what I wanted to say. Why would I have anything worth saying? I always felt that when I finally was able to say something, was anyone really listening? To add to this, I grew up feeling like I really didn't fit in anywhere, that I was usually the odd one out. I was the one who got picked last for the team, didn't stand up for myself...I didn't know how, didn't have " permission ". I couldn't really find my place, or my voice. I attended Columbine High School for one semester before we moved to a wonderful little small Texas town. When I first got there, the kids in my class thought I was "stuck up", because I d

Have You Danced Lately?

"She Danced" This is my latest mixed media piece. The words just seemed perfect for this one. I was inspired by an artist that teaches "tu tu" painting classes and I really wanted to try and make my own "dress" and add my own unique, personal touches and words. Anyone who knows me, knows I struggle with words. When I paint, I feel like I communicate what I can't say. I get lost in another world and time slips away. This is how I imagine it is for other artists as well. I can imagine when dancing, time slips away and the dancer is transported into another world. This canvas was huge, literally for me. My brother has been encouraging me to do larger works. So, because I love him so much and he always knows what's good for me, I took the leap. This is my second attempt at a 36 X 36 X 1.5 canvas. My first attempt felt so daunting and I felt so lost. With this current piece, emotions and colors fl
