Infused with the essence of the South Pacific, Drowning in Blue is a large-scale encaustic painting created after travel to the remote island nation of Tonga. This work captures the immersive, meditative experience of being enveloped by the sea—both physically and emotionally. Rich layers of molten wax and pigment merge in undulating textures, echoing the pull of deep water and the shifting colors of light through ocean depth.

Vibrant ultramarine crests give way to luminous turquoise and warm golden undertones, suggesting both the power and serenity of the Pacific. This piece invites you to surrender to its tactile surface and be transported to a place where time slows, and the horizon dissolves into rhythm and breath.

Perfect for collectors who are drawn to the intersection of travel, memory, and material exploration, this work stands out not only for its scale but for its use of encaustic—a centuries-old medium rarely seen in contemporary oceanic landscapes. Available as the original 36x48 framed painting and as archival fine art signed prints in varying sizes.
