Well, as promised, the picture is now hung!
My husband got out the ladder. Have you ever tried standing, safely, on a ladder that has been extended on the stairs? Very scary. Having placed a towel at the top to protect the wall from the ladder making any marks we discussed the height at which the painting should be displayed. Once that was confirmed, he put two screws so that the painting could balance nicely and it would be easier to keep it level and straight.
Once the screws were in place I handed him the painting after having made sure that he still liked it!
Carefully the painting was lowered onto the screws, levelled and once we were happy with the positioning the ladder was safely removed.
And, so my friends, thank you for your patience! Now is the time to stand back and view my latest, largest encaustic entitled 'Flora'.
Although initially the painting was to be for us, I have decided that if accepted favourably enough it could well go on sale! Then the headache of how to pack it!!
See how the light changes the images as it picks out the metallic wax. Remember if you want to see any picture in more detail just to click on the individual one to blow it up!
Let me know what you think. Honestly, I won't be offended if it is not your cup of tea but I really would be curious to read your views.

Not my cup of tea (e.g. for decarting my own flat), but that said, it's fab and you should be proud!
Re: Ladder - It's not possible to do safely at top of stairs - is just one of those daft things you do, then are somewhat surprised you survived!
Thank you all so much for all your encouragement which is so appreciated!!
