There is a definitive line at midnight on January 1 that gives us the ability to pause, reflect and move on with new intentions. "Lightning Tides" reminded me of this line drawn in our rolling days, months, and years. When lightning strikes, the world lights up for an elongated second, and everything becomes crystal clear. ⁠

SHIPPING NOTE: This art ships from Nantucket.

DETAILS: Original encaustic painting on wood. 10x10,” 2022. Unframed art on a wood panel with 1+ 7/8” depth and white-washed edges. Hanging hardware included. Packed and shipped in insulated boxes to accommodate the fragility of the beeswax.

*Encaustic is a centuries-old process of painting with melted beeswax, tree sap (damar resin) and oil paint. Beeswax is a natural surface and medium that may include tiny fibers or textures caught in the wax. This is a natural part of the process. The medium/surface takes two months to fully cure so treat it gently until then. Once fully cured an encaustic painting can hang over a fireplace without melting. Even after curing it is never recommended to hang encaustic art in direct light, close to a window as the passive solar can cause melting or sweating.

Note: Encaustic is a natural medium and may naturally contain inclusions like air bubbles or particles on the wax surface.
