Yesterday, I began creating a floral still life. Hydrangeas in glass vase with fruit in the foreground added more interest to the composition. Longer than usual to set up, however well worth the extra time as the arrangement is stunning. It's also mathematically correct in design theory . . . and the numeric oriental discipline I learned during my years living in Japan.
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.
