This custom painting is based on my client’s family vacation spot in West Virginia. They spent much of the last year at the pond recreation area just up the hill from their house.

I immediately drew inspiration from the calm and serene water surrounded by a foggy tree line and soft sunlight pouring through the horizon. A happy memory of togetherness in their family!

Care Instructions

After completion of an encaustic painting there is a curing process of a few months. During this time moisture will work its way to the surface and cause a slight haze (this is called bloom). When the sheen dulls or looks dusty, it can be buffed (gently, firmly but not overly vigorous) to a high gloss using a soft lint-free cloth (similar to polishing or dusting furniture). The sheen dulls over time and can be brought back by repeating the process. Although the surface is completely dry, encaustic paintings can be easily scratched, gouged, or chipped if handled roughly. No fingernails please! Protect all encaustic from extreme heat (above 140 F) and freezing temperatures.

“We have been enjoying our lovely painting by Kari every day since it arrived a year ago. This was our first time commissioning a work of art and Kari made the process really easy. She asked questions that helped us articulate our vision and drew inspiration from photos we shared of places that are meaningful to us. The end result is beautiful and it has pride of place in our living room — visible from every room on our first floor."

What is Encaustic Art?

Encaustic is a painting method where pigmented beeswax is melted, applied to a surface and reheated to create a smooth or textured finish. The surface can be polished, modeled, textured and combined with other materials. It cools immediately, can be reworked and has a long durability due to beeswax's imperviousness to moisture.
