My inspiration for the background was wallpaper. I drew the images in and glazed the whole background with blue oil paint creating a mottled texture. It was painted on a gesso deep cradle board that is 1.5 inches deep. The depth was painted so the work does not need a frame.
Next I cut out the shapes for the bird’s nest and the pencils and painted these two subjects and framed and glued them to the background.
The name of the painting is Tree Dwellers. The birds, flowers, nest, and at one time the pencils, existed in a tree or around a tree.
