Inspirational Bird photo from last winter in my backyard
Yea...last winter it actually snowed around here !
This winter is very different..not much snow at all
But there is still February to come ...
 |
| I sold this wall art recently and it inspired me to do more |
This is my own idea to make a rustic
"nature theme" frame
I collect bark from time to time
while walking the trails in the woods around here
lots of interesting bark lying around
I dry it in my oven
 |
| coat the dried bark well with gel medium and a little craft paint |
I decided to use the bark pieces on a recent painting
of a couple of cardinals hanging out in the tree tops
 |
| palette knife painting |
 |
| hope you can tell this is two cardinals |
What do you think?
Do you like palette knife paintings?
Do you like Folk art or rustic looking nature art?

Kat--that is a great idea. The rustic, natural look is perfect for your paintings. Yes to your questions. The rough texture of palette knife paintings goes well with rustic nature art. I adore folk art.
i like that you used more subtle tones for the cardinals rather than bright red. makes you stop and look at the art more. :)
I do, I love love the texture its just so umptuous,, (I think I made that UP))), its beautiful!!!
Beautiful cardinals too!!!
Beautiful Kat...LOVE the colors.
....I love it. I like painting with a palette knife too, but I haven't done it for over a year! You're inspiring me to get it out! :-)
Wow. Great job! So pretty and I love that it's different and unique! Thanks for linking up!
