The Queen's Garden

$200.00

8” × 10”

Each fine art encaustic piece is a one-of-a-kind. “The Queen’s Garden” depicts Marie Antoinette’s beloved gardens at Versailles, with blossoming trees and verdant rolling hills just beyond her hamlet. The artwork begins with a film photograph from my travels printed on archival photographic paper and mounted onto birch wood. Layers of wax are added to develop a unique encaustic texture while various details are highlighted with oil paints, adding depth and dimension that creates a 3D-effect in each piece.

About The Series

Blossoming trees, historic landmarks, late-afternoon sunlight, and quiet storefronts become moments suspended in wax. Photographed by Stephanie Court Toscano on medium format film while on a trip to France, the “Paris In Springtime” collection is a series of photo encaustic works that blur the boundary between photography and painting. With each layer of melted wax and oil painted details, you are invited to experience memories of Paris not just as it looks but also as it feels.

Framing

The Queen’s Garden is unframed to allow for easy display on your bookshelf, desk, nightstand, etc. However, the artwork is also wired for hanging should you choose to display it on your wall.

Artwork Size: 8” x 10”
