    Lovely picture, Frank. I'd like to see it in real life, as even on the screen it seems so vibrant.

    This is fantastic, but I think I need "encaustic" explained to me. Not a method of painting I'm familiar with, but I'm guessing it involves burning away a material?

    Expliquez, s'il vous plait!

  3. It's painting done with hot wax. Here's Wikipedia's entry on encaustic painting.
