Large 36"x24" Encaustic Figurative Painting, Janet Amundson-Splidsboel


Accepted into Emerald Art Center National Spring Exhibition May 2012, Springfield, OR

"Each Afternoon" is a 36"x24" encaustic painting.  I'm working large to be ready for upcoming venues where larger encaustic works are needed.  There is a lot of beeswax in a painting of this size, and approximately 25-30 layers of molten, pigmented beeswax. I will  appreciate your comments on this one, since it is the largest figurative encaustic I have painted to date.   -Janet Amundson-Splidsboel

  1. There's a lot to like about this painting. The composition is well-balanced, graceful. The palatte is peaceful and harmonious. And the rendering is expertly done. So impressive to think of all the time and patience. And the sheer volume of materials! Wow! Congratulations.
