this original barn owl bird on gold painting is the ideal addition to a mantle, side table, desk, or shelf. it can also be hung on the wall. this textural, mixed media painting is done on a piece of hand carved birch wood and framed in an antique handmade wood tramp art easel frame.

tramp art was a global art movement from the 1870s-1940s. using simple tools like a pocketknife, small pieces of recycled wood were whittled into geometric patterns. this frame appears to be from the 1880s-1920s. a prior owner has made some modifications, adding nails and a sawtooth hook for wall display. this is a gorgeous antique frame with great detail. due to age it is delicate. please handle with care.

a continuation of the objet d'art series: a series of vintage and antique frames filled with original paintings on hand carved birch wood. the art and the frame are considered one piece, and the art has been created for its particular frame.

for the painting: 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. mixed media includes vintage postage stamps and paper, antique handwritten letters from the 1800's, and gold leaf. i recommend displaying the painting in indirect light to protect the artwork.

size is approximately 8.5" in width, and 10" in height. the painting is about 1" in depth. all of my paintings can be handled. they look great on their own, or buy a bunch and display them together!

the perfect gift for an avid bird watcher, owl fan, or for a collector of the quaint and curious. an ideal addition to an electic, antique filled space and/or a nature lover's home.
