Butterfly Landing #1

$210.00

Butterfly Landing #1 captures a quiet, fleeting moment, a soft pause where colour, movement and stillness meet. A delicate butterfly hovers above a richly layered bloom, its presence light and fleeting, as if it might lift away at any second.

Created in encaustic wax and mixed media, this piece has a beautiful sense of depth and softness, with glowing layers of pinks, blush and warm amber tones gently unfolding beneath the surface. The wax allows the colours to melt into one another, creating a dreamy, almost ethereal quality that changes subtly as the light moves across it.

This artwork invites the viewer to slow down and notice the quiet beauty in small moments, a reminder of nature’s gentleness and resilience. A perfect piece for bringing warmth, calm and a sense of connection into your home.

Artwork details:

• Original encaustic wax & mixed media artwork

• Size: 24 x 24 cm

• Framed and ready to hang

• Signed by the artist

What Is Encaustic Wax Painting?

Encaustic painting is an ancient art form that uses natural beeswax mixed with damar resin (a tree sap) and pigments to create beautifully layered, luminous artworks. Each layer of wax is applied while warm and then fused with heat, resulting in rich texture, depth, and a soft, tactile finish you simply can’t achieve with other mediums. Every piece is completely unique, with subtle variations that shift as the light changes.

How to Care for Your Encaustic Artwork

Encaustic wax is surprisingly durable — it’s been used since ancient times!

To keep your artwork looking beautiful:

  • Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near heat sources

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth when needed

  • Over time, a soft natural sheen may develop — this is part of the artwork’s character

With simple care, your piece will be enjoyed for generations.

Why You’ll Love This Piece

• A one-of-a-kind artwork – no reproductions

• Soft, calming colours that suit both modern and classic interiors

• A meaningful, timeless gift for art lovers and nature enthusiasts

• Handmade using traditional encaustic techniques
