Just returned from a few days in Galena. Brought my sketch pad and penciled some quick drawings from the nature trail along the Galena River leading to the "Mighty Mississippi" with notes of the colors effected by shadows in the margins. Snapped a number of digital photos as well.
Next week, finish a Sunflower Field painting I began early September. After that, tonal landscapes in various sizes. After all, it's autumn, and the perfect time to capture the beautiful shades of golden hues this time of year offers us.

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.
