Here is another encaustic artwork piece. I call this "Pura Vida II" for this is the second of the series. It depicts a young woman sunbathing on a private terrace. The image is painted with oil paints, ink, and wax. The process gives a surrealist effect, like a dream.  It is not the same as a watercolor or oil painting, for the images are more  distorted, and flowing. The painting is on a 8 X 10 birchwood panel.
