“Companionship” is composed of two encaustic pieces by Francine Lanoie created in 2025. This diptych is sold as a set of two.

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.
