Title: The Smoke Told a Different Story
Medium: Encaustic
Dimensions: 8"h x 6"w
"The Smoke Told a Different Story" is an abstract, encaustic composition. The piece is structured with horizontal bands of color, featuring three distinct layers. The uppermost section is a pale, cream color. Below it is a band of muted blue, while the lowest section is darker, which takes up approximately half of the canvas. On the border where the cream and blue sections meet, there are six circular forms arranged in two horizontal rows of three. The textured surface conveys a sense of age, adding depth and character to the painting.
