Window Shopping #1

$160.00

Original Encaustic Wax & Mixed Media Artwork
20 x 25cm | One-of-a-Kind | Framed

Window Shopping #1 captures one of those fleeting moments that often go unnoticed, a curious bee hovering beside a cluster of vibrant blooms, as though pausing to admire them before moving on. There’s a quiet sense of wonder in the piece, a reminder to slow down and appreciate the simple beauty that surrounds us every day.

Created using layers of encaustic wax and mixed media, the soft, luminous surface gives the flowers an almost dreamlike quality. The bee appears suspended in time, adding movement and storytelling to the composition. Set against a clean, minimalist background, the rich pink blooms become the focal point, making this artwork an elegant addition to both contemporary and traditional interiors.

Perfect for collectors who love botanical art, nature-inspired interiors, and unique handcrafted pieces, Window Shopping #1 brings warmth, softness, and a touch of whimsy to any space. Its timeless palette and gentle narrative make it a piece you’ll continue to discover new details in for years to come.

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.
