so what happened to the origial 2'x2' encaustic painting that I truly loved? well, I put her outside to photograph and LEFT HER OUT! this is a no-no in the Florida Sun...she is a lot like me in direct heat and sunlight...wrinkles and melting! so a HUGE lesson in encaustic care....DO NOT PUT IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT EVER!!! Encaustics melt at 200 degrees so must never be put in a window or left outside in say like a box or a car...I was able to 'repair' but not back to the original...maybe she is better!
