An original encaustic painting of Grand Traverse Bay viewed from above layers luminous wax to capture the bay’s vivid blues—ranging from pale turquoise near the shore to deep indigo in the open water. The two distinct arms, East and West Bay, reach inland like calm, sheltering branches around the Old Mission Peninsula, giving the bay its signature shape. Gentle sandbars, shifting currents, and underwater contours are sculpted into the wax, adding texture and depth. The painting glows with natural warmth, evoking the quiet elegance of the bay and the way sunlight moves across its wide, open expanse. This 20” x 24” piece on wood panel is ready to hang, with no need for framing.
