In the midst of being sick this week I was able to finish one painting. Of course it has taken me two days to edit the pictures and write a description, I hate functioning so slowly.
I have a sweet spot for antiques and vintage items. You will not see me buying décor for my home at IKEA or the
Pottery Barn, I love flea and antique markets. I love walking around and daydreaming about the things I wish I could buy and getting excited over the little cracked floral vases that I can buy.
In this particular painting I have taken one of those little cracked vases and set it in the
bottom of a potato masher. In the pale blue vase are two daffodils. I love the green color paint that is found on so many of the vintage kitchen accessories, I have painted this masher to mimic the color. Hanging off the masher is a vintage orange hat. The hat has been decorated with a deep magenta peony highlighted with gold, a pretty butterfly tag held on with a daffodil hat pin, an iridescent mint green plume and light blue netting. The background of the painting was done to resemble weathered wallpaper featuring pink flowers.
I wanted to say welcome to all my new blogger friends, I love reading your
comments and visiting your blogs. It’s so nice having someone other than me, my husband and my best friend reading my blog. Thank you for stopping by and have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteDaffodils are my favorite bulb!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday Follow! I'm your newest follower! I look forward to coming back! I'm new, hope I put this in the right place. Hope you like my blog too!
ReplyDeleteAhh, now that's what I'm "talkin' 'bout" ~ after so many cookie-cutter blogs it is so refreshing to come across one like yours that has so much style, substance, and a very obvious creative talent. I'm so happy to have found you through Friday Follow, and mean no disrespect to other bloggers. I guess I'm just relieved to read a post about something different than diaper changing once in a while . Your painting is exquisite. I hope you're feeling better and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday Follow...what a fun way to find new blogs!
ReplyDeleteYou had me when yo said no Ikea or Pottery Barn (although I admit we have a piece or two from Ikea and our early days of marriage).
So very much looking forward to reading and looking at more. Your painting is exquisite.
