Come Join Us #2 celebrates the quiet rhythm of working together. Four bees seem to dance across a softly glowing encaustic surface, each following its own path while naturally finding its place within the group. Inspired by the remarkable harmony found inside a beehive, this artwork speaks of friendship, family and community. It reminds us that even though we each have our own journey, we are stronger when we come together. Created with layers of natural beeswax, damar resin and mixed media, the luminous surface changes beautifully with the light, revealing subtle textures and depth unique to encaustic painting. Ideal for collectors who appreciate contemporary Australian art and interiors with meaning, Come Join Us #2 offers a timeless connection to nature while adding warmth and elegance to your home. Beautiful displayed individually or paired with Come Join Us #1 as a conversation-starting collection. What is Encaustic Wax Painting? Encaustic painting is an ancient art form that uses natural beeswax mixed with damar resin (a tree sap) and pigments to create beautifully layered, luminous artworks. Each layer of wax is painted on while warm and then fused with heat, giving the surface a gorgeous depth and a soft, tactile quality you can’t get with other mediums. Every piece is unique, with textures and details that shift and change as the light catches them. How to Care for Your Encaustic Art Encaustic wax is surprisingly durable – it’s been around since ancient Egypt, after all! Your piece won’t melt under normal home conditions, but it’s best to keep it away from direct sunlight, heaters, or extreme heat. Dust it gently with a soft cloth if needed, and over time, you may notice the surface developing a soft, natural sheen – this is perfectly normal and part of the charm of encaustic art. With just a little love, your artwork will last for generations.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Karen Canning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407750750319,"sku":null,"price":350.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/2078\/9615\/files\/69164a62e1b8ea140711df10_img-5608_1782538147346.jpg?v=1782538255","url":"https:\/\/www.theonlineartgallery.com.au\/products\/come-join-us-2","provider":"The Online Art Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
