This bird's nest is the same one painted in Home Alone, but with a different angle. I liked the spa/beige from the painting Drifters and wanted to continue that color theme with this painting. It gives off a very peaceful feeling.
I love your work. I cant believe that we both paint nests! I have been collecting them for years and have recently started painting them! Beautiful work Christine!
Thank you Kimberly. I saw your March birds nest and love it. I learned how to paint them from Rosita Santiago at a workshop in September. She has been selling them really well and when she teaches apparently she shows her students what is selling at that time. I have received positive responses of the birds nest. Not all of them are from comments because most of my friends don't have blogs and just email me. I sold my first birds nest in February and hope to sell the 2 in the show. I am keeping my fingers crossed. Keep painting them they are hot with that spa blue.
Make a beautiful statement with every painting. That is my motto. It could be a color, shape, texture or object in a painting that pulls the whole painting together. No matter if it is an old masters type of a painting, landscape, seascape or portrait I am always looking for a certain energy to come through my paintings.
Throughout my life I have been encouraged to create. During college I found myself interested in Textile Design and graduated with a BFA in Textile Design from Georgia State University. I have over 20 years’ experience in the textile field. From designing throw blankets, rugs, apparel, paper goods to upholstery material. Needing an additional creative outlet, I started taking oil painting classes locally and eventually studying with many internationally known artists as David Leffel, Daniel Keys, Sarah Lamb, Qiang Huang, Scott Conary, Robert Johnson, Nancy Franke, Karen Appleton and Bill Davidson among others. This eventually led me to art groups, small venues and then to an emerging artist show, which propelled my art career.
I am represented by The Studio Gallery.
