“Vestige” – Oil Painting Complete

by Christina Ridgeway | April 5, 2024 | Finished Work, Oil Painting | 0 Comments

Been awhile since I posted on the blog! This year I started off by painting a few studies and trying out different types of lighting. However, I did want to be a part of a Wow x Wow show this year and it was my excuse to get back in it and create a full blown piece...

by Christina Ridgeway | November 27, 2023 | 10 x 10 Collection, Finished Work, Oil Painting | 0 Comments

I can officially now say that my 10 x 10 collection for Galleri Melefors is complete. What a journey! It all started over a year ago as I began doing the initial sketches and headed out into the woods with Leya Rasmussen and Jack Grimfrost for our first photoshoots. I...

“Absolution” – Oil Painting Complete

by Christina Ridgeway | November 27, 2023 | 10 x 10 Collection, Finished Work, Oil Painting | 2 Comments

Hey friends - here we are with the final piece in this collection! I had had many ideas for this piece... it is on the smaller size and it could've been another still life, the wolf man by the cliffs of Vilske Kleva, him together with the heroine on the cliffs...many...

Well ladies and gentlemen, we are reaching the end of this collection. Here is piece #9 out of 10 and what a journey it has been so far! This painting was one of the original concepts and though it has been altered and changed a little along the way, it holds true to...

“When I Believed in Magic (all I could see was you) – Galleri Melefors

by Christina Ridgeway | June 30, 2023 | 10 x 10 Collection, Finished Work, Oil Painting | 0 Comments

Wow, painting number 8 out of 10! This is an exciting moment. We are nearing the finish line - and this piece has been circling my head for near on a year now. I didn't actually take the reference photos for this piece in conjunction with the other concepts. I took it...

“The Blue Bird” – Galleri Melefors

by Christina Ridgeway | May 29, 2023 | 10 x 10 Collection, Finished Work, Oil Painting | 0 Comments

Here we are with the 6th (!!) painting in the 10x10 collection! This time I went full John Bauer, not just inspired by his work but a recreation of his piece "The Blue Bird". In the original painting there was a very pale flowy little girl holding the reigns of a...

“The Lovers” – Galleri Melefors

by Christina Ridgeway | May 7, 2023 | 10 x 10 Collection, Finished Work, Oil Painting | 0 Comments

The next painting in this series takes us back to the wolf and the girl from "Sweet Nothings", now laying in a snowy - soon to be spring - field. It's one of the darker paintings in the series, in my opinion, because it touches on emotions which can be hard to...

“Surrender” – Galleri Melefors

by Christina Ridgeway | May 4, 2023 | 10 x 10 Collection, Finished Work, Oil Painting | 0 Comments

Here is the largest painting in the collection so far! It is a piece called Surrender and is mainly about the ability to let go and go with the flow. I will be making 2 large pieces like this for Galleri Melefors - but the next will have it's debut in the fall Like...

“From Within” – Galleri Melefors

Here is the third painting I created in the 10 x 10 collection for Galleri Melefors! This painting was an ode to John Bauer in my own special way. He created many lovely pieces of riders on horseback, either in the woods or the fields of Sweden. I wanted to create...
