Title: One city, two rivers
Description: "One of the most attractive features of encaustic art is the visual sense of depth; similar to looking through the surface of a pond, or a landscape seen through mist. This is due to one or more layers of bees wax and mixed media, created one at a time until complete"--The artist's personal website (viewed June 22, 2015).
