Oil painting of girl sipping tea in forest full of candles, tarot cards and owls by Christina Ridgeway

Oil painting portrait of a girl in a lace blouse sipping tea in the forest by Christina Ridgeway

This may be the largest painting I've made in recent years. The forest where I took the reference photos for the background has been all but leveled since then. Every time I walk past it, I think of this painting and what it looked like on that frosty afternoon ❄️🕯

Oil painting of a girl in a Norwegian knit sweater in a field with hares by Christina Ridgeway

Portrait oil painting of a girl wearing a Norwegian knit sweater holding a honey pot in a field by Christina Ridgeway

I've been thinking about this painting lately, while wearing that cozy Norwegian sweater. It was all about the new year, new changes, fresh energy...
I would like to bring some of that energy back again, after a rather chaotic year (which now is coming to an end 🙏)
I hope you all receive the same

Portrait painting of woman with a candle crown and runes down her chest

Painting of a saint lucia inspired woman with a candle crown holding a deer skull and viking runes in mossy forest by Christina Ridgeway

Today we are celebrating Saint Lucia here in Sweden. Though I have never painted a traditional depiction of her - I did make this back in 2022 of the lovely Ulvdottern. Hoppas ni har en fin Lucia! 🕯🕯

Thanks Sasha ❤️ I figured if they were going to ban me for something, I'd at least have to show a nipple or something 😂

Painting of a girl wrapped in a blue star blanket by the forest with wolves by Christina Ridgeway

Portrait painting of a girl with a blue star blanket by Christina Ridgeway

Disheartened this evening girl because I saw Instagram flagged a reel of this painting, saying it is sexually inappropriate and now won't show my posts to non followers.
What do you think BlueSky? Do you think this painting is inappropriate?

Oil painting of a girl in a blue starry cloak riding on a horse in a snowy forest by Christina Ridgeway

Snow has been falling all day here in small town Sweden. All I want to do now is curl up in front of the fireplace and "mys".

Here is a painting from 2023 called "From Within" which is still at Galleri Melefors in Linköping 💙

Portrait of 2 girls feeding each other blackberries in the forest oil painting by Christina Ridgeway

Here are some paintings I made during the pandemic for my "Blood, Ash and Bone" collection ❤️ Makes me miss blackberries and how much fun it was working with them during that time.

Portrait of a girl holding a candle in a dark blue forest oil painting by Christina Ridgeway

This is one of the few paintings I made this year. It is called "Guiding Light" and was meant to be a study on light and color 💙🧡

Hard to say if this is best, but it is an old favorite! Just discovered you and love your work! ☺️

Girl sleeping with moose guardian framed oil painting by Christina Ridgeway

It's been over a year since I've posted on here. Seems to be gaining popularity? This is a painting I made in 2022 which is still for sale (and still one of my favorites)

Ecstatic today - after around 2 months of work I think I'm calling this one done 🙌
I've been working on this collection nearly a year now... strange to know the next painting is the last and I am no longer working within its confines. But also strange? Have a lot of ideas of what to do next 🌟

I've been sharing all my "spooky" paintings on Instagram and have been lame and not done so here!
I'll post this one then from 2015 🎃
