Hand-dyed tissue and encaustic wax on birch board.

Blackthorn Blossoms is a luminous, textured encaustic painting that captures the moment when spring seems to breathe itself into being. Thick, sculptural petals bloom along dark, sinuous branches, each blossom glowing with soft whites and warm yellows. The background — a shifting field of turquoise, blue and hints of violet — creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, as though the blossoms are suspended in a gentle breeze or caught in a fleeting shaft of afternoon light. Blackthorn Blossoms brings the freshness of early spring indoors — a reminder of renewal, resilience and the quiet poetry of the natural world. It’s a piece that doesn’t just decorate a home; it enriches it.

Created with encaustic wax over hand-dyed tissue paper. Display out of direct sunlight. Polish with a soft cloth to maintain shine.

The edges of this piece are waxed and tissue wrapped.
