”GOLDEN SAND DUNES” is an original encaustic painting inspired by the desert’s shifting sand dunes. Painted with hot wax on a special encaustic cards type board using a hot iron and heated tools. Framed.

Life is a desert of shifting sand dunes. It is as unpredictable and erratic as encaustic painting can be; where appearance outlives the profound and where dreams substitute reality. It is what happened when my iron with white and blue wax glided over the encaustic card’s golden background. It’s sunset time. The shades of the blue color make us feel that the temperatures are nearing the more comfortable time of the day. The reflection of the light from the golden background offers a sensation of a mirage in this magnificent desert.
