Encaustic with Gold Leaf

"Celestial"
23K Gold & Wax Encaustic
Image:  5x7"
Framed: 10x12"

This was painted on a 5x7" Encausticbord panel and I had a gold plein air frame which really brought out the gold. The gold goes on last - otherwise it will lose it's shine; you don't have to use any bole - the gold leaf just adheres beautifully to a warm wax surface.  

It goes to the Gallery with me tomorrow...
