Description
The inspiration came from quiet hikes through the Sangre de Cristo mountains near Santa Fe—moments when I stop and breathe, letting the silence of the land fill me. The colors in this piece aren’t what the eye sees but what the soul feels: soft, gentle, and deeply restorative. Painting this scene was less about recreating a place and more about remembering a feeling—a sense of harmony, belonging, and infinite peace that rises within when everything else falls away.
About Cold Wax
Cold wax painting combines oil paint with a natural beeswax medium, creating a velvety, matte surface full of texture and light. Layers are applied with palette knives, scrapers, and brushes, allowing for translucency and depth that evolve as the wax cures. Because of its organic nature, no two pieces will ever look or age exactly the same. To care for your cold wax artwork, avoid direct sunlight or extreme heat, and gently dust with a soft, dry cloth when needed.
