Remember last year’s poinsettia piece? It was a redo of a previous, failed encaustic. Well, it’s been redone again. The original poinsettia faded to white and turned brittle. Remnants of the old plant can be seen underneath the new leaves here.
I liked that former piece, but I’m learning the behavior of organic material in wax. Moisture doesn’t age well.
I won’t list all the possible metaphors this piece suggests, lol.
