A little over a month has passed since my last writing. Working steadily in my studio on one floral painting, while also sketching in my notebook from my mind's eye new compositions of autumn landscapes based on some of the forest preserves nearby. I'm excited to get started on them.
We were able to take a quick 3 day trip to Springfield and New Salem last week. Visited some historical sites and new ones pertaining to Lincoln's life. Took some photos of his village in New Salem. I don't foresee paintings with log homes in the near future, but I will add some of the walking paths, rivers and creeks into new compositions.

About Me
- Christine M. Nauman
- Christine Nauman is an accomplished artist working in oil on canvas for over forty years. She combines a tonal palette with delicate brush strokes applying numerous layers of oil for her tranquil landscapes of autumn and winter scenes with emphasis on the changing light of day. Nauman's bucolic landscapes of spring and summer seasons are created with an impressionistic color palette and oils are thickly applied in numerous layers. The texture and additional depth of vivid colors have been compared to both French and American Impressionists of the 19th century by collectors. Still life paintings are staged in her studio and often compared to works by the 16th century Dutch Masters due to their darkened backgrounds and realistic details within. As of 2024, her original oil paintings are in over 1700 collections. Many of these patrons around the globe remain in contact and continue to add onto their art collections. Additional paintings of hers are acquired through fine art galleries. www.christinenauman.com provides detailed biography and available paintings through her Illinois studio.
