How Time Changes

This 11” x 14” encaustic painting captures the stark beauty of a bare winter tree, its delicate branches stretching across the composition like intricate black lace. The crisp, minimalist landscape evokes the stillness of a winter’s day, where time seems to pause in quiet reflection.

Touches of 24K gold leaf are thoughtfully placed on the tree's branches, adding a hint of warmth and highlighting the transformation that comes with the passage of time. The background is a layered tapestry of vintage ephemera, including letters, book pages, and sheet music, creating depth and a sense of nostalgia within the composition.

With its painted black edges, this piece is a striking reminder of the seasons’ inevitable cycles and the beauty found in each phase. Ready to hang and ideal for adding a contemplative touch to any space.
