Night Falling enlivens a cliché by exaggerating its dimensionality . The bright red falling leaves are created by cutting a stencil and using encaustic to make several layers of cadmium red shapes that are almost 1 / 4 ” deep . This is accompanied by a textured , strong presence of a human in nature . Evening blue was created with encaustic , then silhouetted trees were inked , silkscreened and cut out for the foundation for this piece .
