WinterSpirit
Ruella Yates, 2005
8" x 8", Encaustic on cradled clay board
The emergence of Winter, in the form of a Spirit Horse, chills the landscape, still replete with fall colors. The Spirit Horse of Fall is receding at the left of the painting.
The ancient art of Encaustic Painting is a consuming passion for Oklahoma City/Seattle artist Ruella Yates. Her paintings reflect this passion and beauty, exuding energy. She uses the finest organic beeswax, damar crystals for hardening, and premium pigments in her work. Most of Ruella's paintings are true encaustics. All paintings are copyrighted images.
