“Cool Delight” is an encaustic piece by Francine Lanoie created in 2025.

Encaustic art is an ancient painting method using heated beeswax mixed with pigments, known as hot wax painting, where the wax mixture is applied to a surface (like wood) and fused with heat. The word encaustic comes from the Greek , meaning ‘to burn in,’ highlighting the heat-fusing process that creates vibrant, lustrous, and durable artwork.
