Date Night #2

$290.00

Date Night #2 is a softly romantic, one-of-a-kind encaustic wax artwork that captures a quiet, intimate moment between blooms and bees. Layers of warm pinks and blush tones float gently against a creamy background, creating a sense of calm, space and subtle movement. Two tiny bees hover nearby, adding a playful narrative and a reminder of nature’s small, beautiful interactions.

This piece has a beautiful depth and luminosity that can only be achieved through encaustic wax. Up close, you’ll notice the delicate textures and gentle brush marks; from a distance, the work feels light, dreamy and effortlessly elegant. It’s the kind of artwork that invites you to pause — perfect for a bedroom, living space or anywhere you want a soft, uplifting focal point.

At 32 × 32 cm, Date Night #2 is ideal for collectors who love meaningful, original art that feels personal and timeless. No prints, no reproductions — this is a true one-off artwork that will never be repeated.

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.

Why You’ll Love This Piece

  • One-of-a-kind original — no prints or reproductions
