Encaustic Paintings originals & Prints

THE IMAGES ARE AVAILABLE AS A Giclee ON CANVAS, METAL, OR TILE MURAL
Encaustic paint is pigment in a beeswax and resin base. The resin raises the melting temperature of the paint, hardens it and resists dust. Encaustic medium is the beeswax and resin base without the pigment and is used to make color transparent, and gives an optical depth unique
to the medium.
An encaustic painting is durable and archival. There are encaustic paintings from Greco-Roman Egypt that have survived in good condition.
An encaustic painting will melt at 150 degrees so storage in a hot car trunk is not an option. Below freezing, the wax can crack. So, the encaustic painting needs to be kept between 35 and 120 degrees. Do not ship in cold
or very Hot weather.

Encaustic Paintings

"A Desert Mosaic, at Copper Canyon," a 14" x 34" encaustic piece that celebrates the vibrant beauty of desert landscapes. This artwork showcases colorful cactus and plant forms set against a dynamic backdrop, with the sky transitioning from deep purples to bright yellows, reminiscent of a breathtaking sunset or sunrise. What makes this piece truly unique is the use of fabric dipped in wax to create a whimsical, three-dimensional cactus, while bits of glass form the Ocotillo, and the lower section embodies abstract flowers through layers of wax, fabric, glass beads, and stones. Dotted with geometric shapes and colored copper wire, the sky adds a final touch of intrigue. The inspiration for this piece struck when I found four captivating copper slabs at the Tucson Gem show, which, when laid side by side, conjured images of a mountain range in my mind. I invite you to explore the rich textures and vivid colors of "A Desert Mosaic, at Copper Canyon," and experience the lively, organic feel of this vibrant artwork.

Feathered Radiance / Ceremonial Glow," Artist: Joe Bourne Size: 17.5" x 23.5". Medium: Encaustic mixed "Feathered Radiance / Ceremonial Glow," features a captivating profile of a Native American wearing a headdress adorned with blue and white feathers, all set against a vibrant yellow backdrop. The radiating lines evoke a sense of warmth and energy, much like the sun's glow. This piece is brought to life with intricate details and a rich palette of purples and reds, creating a dynamic and expressive quality. What truly sets it apart is the unique process involved—sculpting the figure from beeswax and crafting the headdress from special fabric dipped in wax, complemented by a Native American prayer subtly embedded within. My inspiration came after seeing a bronze sculpture of a Native American Chief, which spurred my creative vision

"Inspiration"THIS PIECE IS AVAILABLE IN VARIOUS SIZES AS A GICLEE ON CANVAS, METAL, ACRYLIC The Original ws created for and is in the permanent collection of the African American Museum at The University of Arizona This artwork incorporates the powerful Pan African colors of red, black, and green, forming a heart shape out of textured fabric. Set against an abstract background of vibrant yellows, oranges, and pinks, the composition is brought to life with additional circular patterns and integrated text—the uplifting poem "Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou. By weaving together rich textures and meaningful symbolism, I aimed to create a piece that resonates with cultural significance. The process was uniquely engaging, especially in using individual fabric pieces dipped in colored wax.
