Description
“Copper Fenceline” by Diane Larouche Ellard is an encaustic mixed media artwork that explores the almost ethereal beauty of a humble post and wire fence. Follow the wire as it transforms into a mesmerizing line, meandering toward the horizon almost as though it had a direction of its own. This abstract landscape painting blends elements of nature and human touch, evoking a sense of connection and continuity.
Diane Larouche Ellard makes her encaustic paintings with beeswax, damar resin (a natural tree sap that acts as a hardening agent), oil paint, and other media. She works in layers, fusing each layer with heat. Her collages use paper from old books, music, newspapers, and journals. She begins by laying out the collage, playing with the pieces of paper and making a horizon. From there she builds up layers of encaustic medium, ink, oil stick, and pan pastel. Diane’s process is intuitive, allowing the nature of her chosen media and collage to guide her process.
