Blue Ochre (Abstract Encaustic Painting with Indigo, Teal, and Beige Fabrics)
Located in Hudson, NY
Abstract encaustic painting with dyed teal, indigo, beige, and white dyed fabrics
"Blue Ochre & White Lies" made by Hudson Valley artist, Alaina Enslen, in 2022
Encaustic & dyed fabrics mounted on panel
16 x 20 inches, 17 x 21 inches framed
Excellent condition, ready to hang
Lightweight
Signed, verso
This abstract minimalist painting is made with repurposed pieces of found fabrics in complementary tones of teal, indigo, and beige on an encaustic white background. The fabrics, which are adhered to a light wood Birch panel and layered with a subtle layer of encaustic, are arranged in a whimsical motif that accentuates the spontaneous dyed patterns. The layers of fabric and encaustic create a textured, impasto surface.
About the artist:
Alaina Enslen expresses her artistic vision through repurposed fabrics infused with beeswax. The Cornwall-On-Hudson based artist collects pieces of textile that evoke memory, tradition, or experience like cherished worn heirlooms, discarded clothes, and religious garments, which are then assembled on panel in an abstract patchwork. Favoring fabrics with a neutral or subtle cool palette, she flattens and frays the material to explore color, form, and lines, reimaging used cloth...

The Way it Was by Susan Thornbury, Contemporary Artwork on Panel
Located in Atlanta, GA
'The Way It Was' by Susan Thornbury is an abstract composition full of texture and movement rendered in mixed media on panel. Measuring 36 x 36 in, this piece showcases the artist's distinctive style and command of composition. A perfect addition for collectors seeking contemporary abstracts with presence and personality.
Susan Thornbury creates richly layered mixed media paintings that feel both modern and timeless. Working on wood panels with plaster and wax, she builds surfaces that are as much about what’s revealed as what’s concealed. Her compositions often begin with structure—repeating motifs inspired by antique textiles, vintage wallpaper, or family heirlooms—then soften and evolve through an intuitive, hands-on process of scraping, sanding, and waxing. The result is work that feels quiet but deeply tactile, inviting viewers to linger and discover the nuance within every petal, line, and edge.
A background in graphic design shapes Susan’s sensibility: there’s a balance between pattern and spontaneity, symmetry and imperfection. Whether working in soft sage greens, misty grays, or whispery whites, she leans into the beauty of restraint, letting texture and subtle shifts in color carry the emotion.
Susan lives and works in Atlanta, where she shares a home with her husband, two daughters, and their spunky rat terrier...

Centuries (Abstract Geometric Encaustic Painting In Patterned Ochre and White)

Abstract geometric encaustic painting in patterned ochre on white
"Centuries Spliced Open" made by Hudson Valley artist, Alaina Enslen, in 2022
Encaustic & monotype mounted on panel
30 x 41 x 2 inches, sides reveal raw wood sides
Excellent condition, ready to hang
Lightweight
Signed, verso
This abstract minimalist painting is made with pattered ochre monotypes on an encaustic white background. The paper, which is adhered to a light wood Birch panel and layered with a subtle layer of encaustic, is arranged in a geometric motif that accentuates the play of negative space. The layered paper and encaustic create a textured, impasto surface.

The Cornwall-On-Hudson based artist collects pieces of textile that evoke memory, tradition, or experience like cherished worn heirlooms, discarded clothes, and religious garments, which are then assembled on panel in an abstract patchwork.
