Coming August 1 at Christenberry Collections is a new collection of oil paintings on exotic and American hardwoods!
Custom designed, cut, and finished wood panels including Maple, Birch, Cedar, Cherry, and Purple Heart. Several layers of clear gesso and painted showing through to the natural wood grain underneath and peeking through bits of the painting. Showing both the natural grain and even knots and holes in the wood throughout the paintings.
Today I went to Paper Source in Oak Brook to purchase some supplies. And I fell in love with this new botanical paper. I did not buy it. But I wanted to share it with you.
Also, trying to paint a cupcake once a week. It's fun to paint a variety. The trick is to not be tempted to eat the whole thing later.
This is the first layer only.
Every month of 2017 you can look forward to a series of small paintings specific to that month. While I may have birds and some of these other items all year, I will focus on a decent-sized grouping of paintings for each month's series. Hope you enjoy!
