“Coastal Reckoning” is a powerful encaustic painting that captures the dramatic essence of sea levels rising over coastal landscapes. With fluid water patterns, foamy waves, and a deep blue gradient sky, this textured artwork evokes both the beauty and fragility of nature. The bold contrast of dark sand, scattered pebbles, and an imposing gray rock adds to the depth and emotion of the scene, symbolizing the shifting balance between land and sea.

The use of thick encaustic wax creates a layered, tactile experience, enhancing the movement of water and the rugged textures of the shore. The abstract white wave and cloud formations at the top blend seamlessly into the sky, offering a sense of motion and transformation. This piece speaks to themes of nature’s power, environmental change, and the resilience of coastal landscapes.

Perfect for collectors of modern encaustic art, ocean-inspired decor, and climate-conscious artwork, this painting brings an evocative, atmospheric presence to any space.
