Worn Smooth

Description
Abstract painting "Worn Smooth" in the "Schema" collection points to an underlying and organizing structure that holds all of nature and life in place. The structure that offers security, continuity, boundaries, and assuredness that all is in perfect order. Derived from San Diego artist Shima Shanti's own observation and imagination. Beeswax is one of nature's best preservatives. An encaustic painting is durable, archival and created to last; impervious to moisture and uv light. The small amount of damar raises the melting temperature to 160 degrees F and increases the hardness of beeswax.
