Singing a New Song, Original Mixed Media/Encaustic Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin
Singing a New Song
One day it happened.
The seemingly never-ending fog began to clear. The tiniest rays of crystal clear sunlight
began to peak through the clouds. Slow
and uncertain, she decided to be brave and she began to allow the cracks in her
heart to allow the light in, a little at a time. It had been a long, cold season. As she closed her eyes and breathed it in,
she could feel her heart beginning to sing a new song.
This piece is sold, but commissions are welcome. I would love to hear from you! Feel free to email me.

"Go Your Own Way", Original Mixed Media/Encaustic Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin
Go Your Own Way
Everyone said, “Follow me”.
It was expected, and for a while, she did what she was told. This was not the path she wanted to
take. She did not want to fly in
conformity with all the others. There
were mysteries to be solved and adventures to be had. And then it happened, like a dream that
whispered her name in the middle of the night.
She noticed that not only were her own wings beautiful, but they were
strong. They were not like everyone
else’s. A still small voice inside of
her nudged her to try out her own unique and beautiful wings. That voice told her it was a good thing to go
her own way. So she did. And she never looked back.
This piece began with fabric from a vintage napkin. I loved this photo that I had taken of a tree
in Oregon and decided to embed it in the piece.
I also added bits of paper and paint.
At the last minute, I decided I wanted to add the symbolism of the
butterflies. Of course, one of the
butterflies just would not conform and line up with the others! Perfectly imperfect. A layer of dreamy encaustic wax finished this
piece.
This piece is sold, but commissions are welcome. Feel free to contact me at saltlightwatercolors@yahoo.com with any questions or comments.

Encaustic Art Painting, "Grow", by International Mixed Media Artist Donna L. Martin
This is the second Encaustic painting that I've done. I used bright, happy colors of blues, pinks, reds, and greens. I embedded words from a vintage book that I found at an Antique store. It reads, "When she awoke she knew that she need not be afraid of growing up." The painting is done on birchboard. It turned out to be a happy little painting!
Encaustic paintings are really very easy to take care of and very durable. It should be handled relatively carefully to avoid scratching the surface and should not be placed behind glass. It can withstand temperatures up to 150 degrees, but should never be left in a hot car or outdoors in the sun. Encaustic paintings also cannot withstand freezing temperatures. If you are displaying encaustic in a window with direct sunlight or near a heat source, just be sure and test it out to make sure the surface of the painting does not soften. Encaustic paintings can also be buffed on the surface with a soft cloth to restore the sheen to the wax. With all this being said, Encaustic paintings are incredibly durable and archival. Excavation of ancient encaustic paintings have shown no signs of mold, cracking, flaking, or fading. Unlike other mediums, encaustic paintings are resistant to moisture, acid, and mold.
This painting measures 6X8 and is available for purchase.
$60/free shipping in the United States.
