2x3 clay dogwood ornament in a 3x4 canvas and wood frame and velvet ribbon to hang.
This ornament has slight variations in placement of flowers but colors and style is exactly the same for all.
I love the symbolism of Christ that dogwoods bring. If you don't know. Dogwood flowers have 4 petals, a crown of thorns in the middle and blood red marks at the end of each flower. They are one of my favorite flowers and you'll see me paint them often. This is one of my favorite dogwood paintings I've done!
I started making clay paintings 5 years ago when I was looking for a way to bring more texture to my paintings. I had the idea to try using clay and it has been the best journey. I loved creating something that hasn't been done before (I'm sure it's been done somewhere, but for me, I had never seen it. And even when I tried looking for it, couldn't find it).
Each piece takes hours and hours of work starting with mixing all the colors. Every color you see has been hand mixed starting with just red, yellow, blue, and brown. My kids love helping with this process so a lot of these colors have been with their help.
This nativity is hand made with clay. It is durable and hard to the touch but you should still avoid touching the artwork itself to avoid getting oils and dirt on the artwork.. You can remove any dust or oil by wiping gently with a dry microfiber towel.
