BUY ART AND DO GOOD!

JOY

This encaustic painting is one of a series of inspirational pieces done in support of Keep A Child Alive.  25% of each painting sold goes to Keep A Child Alive.  They work primarily in Aftica and India to help stop the HIV/AIDS pandemic.  Each painting is 8"x8", framed in a black 10"x10" floater frame - ready to hang.  Each painting is $200, with $50 being donated to Keep A Child Alive.  These paintings are created using encaustic (molten beeswax with damar resin and pigment).  The encaustic is painted in layers with each layer being fused to the one below using a torch flame.  The word is transferred to the painting with carbon paper then carved...this process continues numerous times.  I then add  the word in Braille, using dots of encaustic so you can "feel" the inspiration.
