Encaustic art is one of the oldest forms of art. Encaustic is painting with a specific mixture of beeswax and damar resin. While painting with hot, melted wax, I also incorporate the use of oil paints, pan pastels, oil sticks, and drawings. I love the smell of the melted beeswax that fills my studio! The process requires both patience and spontaneity. It's a rare marriage of being in control and completely losing control. It's labor-intensive, but what I love most about encaustic is that the outcome is a dreamy, ethereal image with texture and appeal, unlike any other art form. I wish everyone could see encaustic works in person to really appreciate all they have to offer. Photos rarely do them justice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am drawn to the imagery and symbolism of trees. I love that there is a universal response and connection to trees and that trees can have different meanings for different peoples, religions, and cultures. Trees are stoic, grounded, life-giving, and lasting. They are calming and provide vital oxygen for our every breath.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI also love to work with abstract landscapes. I prefer not to replicate an exact place or time but rather to invite the viewer into a place where they can create the narrative and emotion for themselves. The encaustic process lends itself to very moody, emotional landscapes--perfect for dreaming of those far-off places you wish to explore! These places are a respite to calm and center me, places where I can take in healing deep breaths equivalent to a good yoga session.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen I’m not spending time in my shared studio with my best friend, fellow artist, and hubby, I am usually to be found with him traveling the world and experiencing the art of all cultures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shari Lyon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48157480517867,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/3790\/4291\/files\/ShariLyon_GiornatainMontagna.png?v=1777413265","url":"https:\/\/jkr-gallery.myshopify.com\/products\/shari-lyon-giornata-in-montagna","provider":"JKR Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
