Peace, Love, and Joy is an abstract encaustic painting that embodies balance and harmony. Three organic circles, crafted from interlaced hemp cording and accentuated with black wax, symbolize interconnectedness and unity. The composition evokes the dynamic relationship between what lies below and what rises above, with a horizon line anchoring the piece. The textured wax and flowing forms suggest the busyness of growth both to and from the horizon, blending earthy grounding with a sense of infinite space. This calming piece invites reflection and inspires serenity, offering an artistic embrace of peace, love, and joy.
