Buzzing Around #2

$290.00

Original Encaustic Wax & Mixed Media Artwork
Part of the Buzzing Around series

There’s something magical about the quiet hum of a bee drifting through a garden in bloom. Buzzing Around #1 captures that fleeting moment, soft petals glowing with rich coral and pink tones while a tiny bee hovers above, almost suspended in time.

Created using encaustic wax and mixed media, this one-of-a-kind artwork has a dreamy, luminous quality that shifts beautifully as the light changes throughout the day. The delicate layers of wax create softness and depth, giving the flowers an almost velvety appearance while the minimal background allows the piece to breathe and bring a sense of calm to a space.

This artwork is perfect for collectors who are drawn to nature-inspired contemporary art with warmth, texture, and emotion. Whether styled in a modern interior, a relaxed coastal home, or a layered eclectic space, Buzzing Around #2 adds a beautiful sense of softness and quiet luxury. As part of a series, it also pairs beautifully with companion pieces for collectors wanting to create a curated story wall.

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 painted on while warm and then fused with heat, giving the surface a gorgeous depth and a soft, tactile quality you can’t get with other mediums. Every piece is unique, with textures and details that shift and change as the light catches them.

How to Care for Your Encaustic Art

Encaustic wax is surprisingly durable – it’s been around since ancient Egypt, after all! Your piece won’t melt under normal home conditions, but it’s best to keep it away from direct sunlight, heaters, or extreme heat. Dust it gently with a soft cloth if needed, and over time, you may notice the surface developing a soft, natural sheen – this is perfectly normal and part of the charm of encaustic art. With just a little love, your artwork will last for generations.

Shipping for International Collectors

I’m delighted to send my artwork to collectors all around the world. Because each piece is unique and shipping costs vary depending on size, weight, and destination, international customers are encouraged to get in touch for the best shipping option and quote. This way, I can ensure your artwork is safely packaged and shipped at the most reliable and cost-effective rate for your location.
