Storied Fossils: Petoskey Stone Radiance
Encaustic Original Painting | 20” x 28”
This encaustic original reimagines the Petoskey stone as it once was—ancient coral swaying in colorful reefs millions of years ago. Based on scientific speculation and artistic interpretation, the coral is envisioned with vibrant hues, alive in the shifting seas. Layers of molten beeswax, damar resin, and pigments create depth and radiance in teal, gold, and deep ocean blues, echoing the fossil’s storied past.
Imagine walking along the Lake Michigan shoreline, combing the beach for Petoskey stones, the rhythm of the waves calming your mind as your hand brushes across smooth, patterned fossils. This painting captures that meditative moment, transforming it into lasting art.
Professionally finished in a dark walnut floater frame, it arrives ready to hang and enjoy. Perfect for fossil lovers, Great Lakes enthusiasts, and collectors drawn to coral reef art, coastal décor, or nature-inspired wall art.
