Original Encaustic Wax & Mixed Media Artwork
22 x 22 cm | Framed in timber floating frame
One-of-a-kind original artwork by Karen Canning
Fresh, nostalgic and quietly beautiful, Lemon captures the simple charm of everyday life. Suspended delicately against a soft luminous background, the single lemon branch feels both timeless and modern, like a treasured botanical study rediscovered years later.
The translucent encaustic wax creates a dreamy, almost velvety surface that gently softens the edges of the fruit and leaves, giving the piece warmth and depth that changes beautifully in different light throughout the day.
Perfect for collectors who love understated statement pieces, Lemon brings a calm, organic elegance to kitchens, dining rooms, hallways, or curated gallery walls. Its soft neutral palette and botanical subject make it incredibly versatile for both contemporary and classic interiors.
This artwork is ideal for anyone wanting to add a sense of warmth, simplicity and natural beauty to their space, a small but striking piece designed to be lived with and enjoyed for years to come.
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.
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.
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.
