The Artwork above is part of a collection in which Josiah recently made during an encaustic workshop. There is no true theme to the paintings, though they all mostly match in warmth and color. Encaustics are an ancient form of art using melted and colored wax to paint, the first and the last artwork from here are done actual encaustic piece, whereas the artwork in the middle the (cactus) was created in a monotype, where wax is melted on a metal sheet and you press a paper to transfer the image.
