Jamie McPhail expresses that existential moment all artists face when they are uncertain about where a piece came from and where it is going. This painting is so beautifully poised upon that creative edge of uncertainty, and we just want to keep looking, wondering and seeking to understand. @jmcencaustic writes: Some paintings struggle to express themselves and you just have to invest the time to get to know them. There is something I don’t understand here, but I’m willing to sit with it. I’ll let you know if I discover a secret.

Some people are starting to put up trees...but this year, that is unlike any other, Kay Burnett has taken a different - and astonishing - direction!. We're agog! @southofharmony writes: This year our Christmas tree has been replaced by a Gargoyle Cathedral. The stonework alone took 40 pounds of encaustic paint. The stained glass window above the cathedral is 18 x 18 inches.

What incredible beauty Hilary Hanson Bruel creates using wax and thread. @hansonbruelart, who describes herself as a re-emerging artist, writes, I have to say I’m so pleased with the colors on this one… the evolution of my recent red kick. “Sanguine” 11x14 encaustic with thread. We're so pleased, as well! The rich colors, the textures, the juxtapositions... such lovely harmony. Visit @hansonbruelart for a very special experience. We're certain that you'll be as pleased as we are that Hilary has re-emerged! • • • • • #encaustic #waxworks #CreativeExpression #encausticartist #encaustics #myencausticart #myencaustic #myencausticlife #followart #textureart #imaginationart #waxartist #waxart #studiodays #studioart #artmaterials #encausticpainting #artprocess #abstractartist #waxart #abstractpainting #abstractart #emergingartist #newenglandartist #bostonartist #womenartists #abstractartist #texturalart #mixedmedia #redandgold 
A lovely painting and warm wishes from Nadia Davidson. @moltenimaginings writes: Shooting stars in the night sky. Could be on another planet. Sometimes the night sky makes us feel small and insignificant but the universe affirms that you are in the right place at the right time with little messages like shooting stars.

Just as in nature, Carolina Overbeek's encaustic work, Ocean Biome iii, marries the utmost strength and delicacy. @carolina.overbeek quotes Sylvia Earle as she writes: “Even if you have the chance to see or touch the ocean, the ocean touches you with every breath you take, every drop of water you drink, every bite you consume. Everyone, everywhere is inextricably connected to and utterly dependent upon the existence of the sea.” • • • • • #encaustic #waxworks #CreativeExpression #encausticartist #encaustics #myencausticart #myencaustic #myencausticlife #followart #instagramartist #textureart #imaginationart #waxartist #waxart #studiodays #studioart #artmaterials #encausticpainting #artprocess #abstractartist #oceanbiome #climatechangeart #missionblue #southafricanartists #savetheocean #encaustry #ru_delicate_20
