"Gardens are Good"

Original Mixed Media Painting

This original painting depicts lively little garden scene, where a buzzing bee drifts above blooming plants in a world that feels both imagined and familiar. With its bright spirit and whimsical composition, "Gardens Are Good" celebrates the quiet joy of things growing — a gentle reminder that beauty often lives in the simple things.

• Birch wood panel with a 7/8" profile 

• Encaustic wax medium, paint

• Artist signature and title on reverse

• Ready to hang

Upon close inspection, you will notice surface imperfections — these are intentional and an essential part of working with encaustic wax. Each mark and texture adds character, making every painting completely unique. I often revisit favorite themes and motifs in my work, but no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

While the wax is fully cured and stable, it remains a delicate surface and can be susceptible to gouging or scraping. Please handle with care.

Do not hang in direct sunlight, as heat can affect the wax medium.
