winter's story quietly unfolds...

this original red cardinal bird on snowy branch winter house painting on wood is the ideal addition to a mantle, side table, desk, or shelf. it also has a hanging wire for immediate wall display. i buy all of my wood from a local furniture maker, and i love the opportunity to create something new out of discarded materials. i never know what he is going to sell me, which contributes to the creative inspiration. this particular piece is a nice, thick, irregularly-shaped repurposed wood block.

materials are applied layer by layer and then allowed to dry before the next application. this gives the paintings a great amount of depth and detail. sides of the painting are layered tan and soft gold. the right-hand edge is layered moss and pine green. materials include contemporary paper, antique handwritten letters from the 1800s, gold leaf, and vintage postage. the little winter scene of a house in the forest is a mixed media painting on vellum. the overall aesthetic of this painting is vintage luxury.

size is approximately 6.5" in width and 10.25" in height. about 2" in depth. all of my wood blocks can be handled. they look great on their own, or buy a bunch and display them together!

a perfect addition to an ornate, ecletic, luxurious space. an heirloom cardinal painting tha is the perfect gift for a cardinal fan, winter enthusiast, forest bather, bird watcher or all-around nature lover. the painting arrives carefully wrapped for safe transport
