Recently, I was thinking about all the thrift store, junk store, side-of-the-road-pick-up art that I have accumulated. I love each and every piece, and have found some funny and wonderful items over the years. Maybe when we have a house I'll do a big grouping of everything? I'm not sure, but I know one thing - it's unique and I plan to hold onto all of it for forever (and add on to my collection).
I have this piece that is in the left shelf at the top. It's someone's rendering of a still life, in oil, but unfinished. It looks very old, as the canvas is beaten up and threadbare at the sides, but I love it that way, and I always have left it unframed.
The green is amazing, huh?
This "Girl with A Horse" print is another good find. It's hard to see in this picture, but it's a cool one:
(this is from when we FIRST moved in the condo! Before my sofa was reupholstered)
These cat and dog painting prints are maybe my favorites:
The dog one currently stares at you in the bathroom, next to the toilet at the studio. :)
OK... that's all for now. So much fun collecting weird and wonderful things.
I can't get over that dog print! SO cute.
ReplyDeleteI love collecting weird things too. Makes for a story every time you have guests. :)

Hannah - so true!
ReplyDeletetiffany leigh - i'm glad you like it! so many people think they're weird :)
ReplyDeleteI'm embarrassed to say: I have painted a girl and horse painting similar to yours but not as cool, oh, so not as cool. It was during my romantic Laura Ashley slightly tortured tweens. It was a white horse and a shirtless woman--but only from the shoulders up. I was leaving something for the imagination. :) I hope my mom has burned it.
ReplyDeleteYes! I love finding someone else's forgotten art. It's like a lost puppy--you gotta give it some love.
