Niko’s Sunset
Niko’s Sunset
11 x 14 inches
I had the honor of painting a custom pice for my family member who, after many years of waiting, was blessed with a beautiful baby girl to call their own. I can’t think of two more deserving parents, and I am so overjoyed for the love and light this little one has brought to their lives.
They asked me to create a piece that would forever capture a special place in Hawaii — where baby Niko is from and where they spent precious moments leading up to and after her birth. This sunset scene over the ocean is a memory of her first sunset, a reminder of her roots, and a symbol of the beautiful life they will share together. Now, this heartfelt piece resides in my home state of Illinois, adding warmth to her room and serving as a daily reminder of the love that surrounds her.

Care Instructions
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.

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.
