White-winged Crossbill

Original artwork by Lynn Steiner of Superior, WI Mixes Media (oil and genuine copper gild) 8" x 8" with frame Artist website: www.lynnsteiner-Artist.com Artist statement: Nature is my life’s Muse, so it is important not to contribute to the planet’s demise, even in a small way. As an Oil Painter, I use no petroleum- based solvents or mediums, or plastic paint (acrylic/latex). I have been experimenting with mulling my own oil paints with foraged mineral pigments often from the very area I am painting. Every painting contains a small memory, or tells a story, and depicts what I love.
