inspired by the mourning doves setting up an early springtime nest outside my studio window.

this original mourning dove pair birds on branches home is the ideal addition to a mantle, side table, desk, or shelf. it also has a hanging wire for immediate wall display. i buy all of my wood from a local furniture maker, and i love the opportunity to create something new out of discarded materials. i'm never sure what he is going to sell me, which adds to the creative inspiration. this particular piece of wood is irregularly shaped with a sloping top edge.

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. sides and base of the painting are layered soft peach and beige. the top of the painting is layered apricot and soft peach. this mixed media painting has a lot of layers. materials include vintage paper, antique handwritten letters and postage stamps, gold leaf and vintage fabric.

this piece has nice texture. the artwork is quite luminous and ornate!

size is approximately 8.25" in width and 17" at the highest tip. 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!

a lovely addition to soft, peaceful space. a perfect gift for a dove fan, bird enthusiast, or all-around nature lover!
