Sweet Love

$650.00

42 x 62 cm | Encaustic wax and mixed media on board | Framed

Delicate yet bold, Sweet Love captures the quiet poetry of nature — a crimson vase brimming with soft spring blooms and a curious bee drawn to their scent. Created with layers of molten beeswax and pigment, this piece holds a beautiful depth and translucence that shifts gently with the light.

The tactile surface and ethereal softness invite you to pause, breathe, and feel the joy that only flowers — and a little bee — can bring. Perfect for those who adore art inspired by nature and love a touch of romance in their home.

Each encaustic artwork is one-of-a-kind, lovingly created in my Toowoomba studio.

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.
