Painting (At top & right, a violet peeks through top layers of turquoise, blue & pearly pale green. At the lower portion of this small painting (8x 8 inches on cradled birch board), a diagonal slope cuts across & scoops above a gold layer. That layer cracks & slips to reveal the underpainting; small gold circles (as if other worlds in this slightly planetary ""scene"") spin. This is an encaustic painting consisting of highly pigmented beeswax strengthened by damar varnish, here painted over an underpainting & embellished with gold metallic powdered pigment ""melted"" into the surface. ) 27.94 × 27.94 × 5.08 cm (framed) / 20.32 × 20.32 × 2.54 cm (unframed) / 20.32 × 20.32 cm (actual image size)
