VINTAGE BLOOMS



    The flowers are in bloom...
    well, in these paintings and prints at least!


    I am always keeping my eyes out for pretty vintage flower paintings and prints.


    Occasionally,
    I find some great ones at the thrift stores or flea markets.
    Looking through stacks of random frames or old prints-
    sometimes there will be one mixed in the bunch.


    Love them all, but old oil paintings are my favorite.


    I found this large one at the flea market for $5.00
    and lucked out finding the fantastic gesso frame that fit it just a few rows over
    for $10.00.


    Love little smaller ones sitting on a frenchy chair in the hall
    or grouped together on a wall or shelf.


    The old chippy frames, thick brush strokes & spider crackles
    in the paint from age are fantastic.


    There is just something about the patina on an old oil painting.


    Love it.

    It's rainy, rainy, rainy here today
    so thought a few pictures of blooming beauties
    might brighten it up a bit.
    Just a quick post today~off to work on some projects!


    Happy Tuesday everyone!
