There’s something magical about those quiet moments in nature when everything slows down. A butterfly pauses on a flower, gathering energy before continuing its journey. In the Refuelling series, these fleeting encounters become a gentle reminder to pause, replenish, and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. Each piece captures a different butterfly and bloom, celebrating the delicate relationship between movement and stillness. Softly layered within luminous encaustic wax, the butterflies seem to float above the surface, creating a dreamy and timeless quality that changes with the light. Perfect for collectors who are drawn to nature-inspired artwork, these pieces bring a sense of calm, beauty, and elegance to any interior. Whether displayed individually or as a trio, Refuelling #1, #2 and #3 create a striking statement while adding warmth, texture, and personality to your home. These original artworks are ideal for contemporary, coastal, cottage, or modern interiors and make a meaningful addition to any art collection. Why You’ll Love This Artwork Original one-of-a-kind artwork Handmade using traditional encaustic wax techniques Beautiful depth and luminosity unique to wax painting Brings a sense of calm and connection to nature Works beautifully as a standalone piece or displayed as a collection Adds texture, warmth, and interest to interior spaces A timeless investment in original Australian art 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.
