Dawn's Glow, Belleville, Ontario
Dawn’s Glow captures Belleville’s haunting past. A photograph is sealed under hot wax and pigment, creating translucent veils that reveal fragments while wax softens and distorts light, adding depth and sheen. Warm ivories and honey tones balance cool grays or sepia. Scraped marks, faint ridges, and pigment specks catch the light; clear photographic detail sits beside the waxy blur, producing soft inner shadows. Themes of preservation, loss, and uncertain memory invite slow looking as realism and painterly surface form a quiet portrait. Mounted on an 11” x 14” birch panel—durable and reflective—this piece preserves Belleville’s industrial past with a nostalgic mood. Ready to hang as is, or add a floater frame for only $70 to complete the look.
