A couple relocating from Chicago to New Jersey is leaving the Windy City with a dog that stole the hearts of all of their friends. As a goodbye gift, the friends commissioned an encaustic painting of the one and only Leroy Popcorn, a soulful and cuddly senior rescue who loves nothing more than 5pm dinner and a good nap. I love using this mixed media technique to add some texture, depth and a new perspective to beloved and iconic photos.
