Description
From Bell & Finch Studio Shop, here is an original painting by artist/shop owner June Parrish Cookson. Titled: Passage to the Sea depicts a scene captured on a day trip by car, a glance along the way where a meadow meets trees, and secreted passage that leads to the ocean beyond. Reminiscent of hot encaustic wax techniques, the painting embodies a unique waterborne cold wax medium evolving countless textural layers using various tools, infused by heat, then buffed with a soft cloth to produce a smooth finish. Passage to the Sea is the first completed painting in an upcoming Bell & Finch collection of artworks using this distinctive wax medium and contemporary appearance. Landscapes, interiors, and still life will be the subjects.
Signature on front and back. Other pertinent information and care instructions specific to the wax medium are on the back of the painting.
