These two are having a good time at the beach! Grandmama is Linda, an art student of mine. She paints some beautiful watercolors!
Here is the last one of the vintage farm toys. I am plowing through my studio looking for more objects that would be good subjects for paintings. Send me ideas you might have for subject matter. Happy Halloween!
Here is the second in the farm toy series. I spent the weekend scouring Scott's Antique Market for old Scrabble letters to use on these. I didn't have much luck finding those but what a fun place to visit and shop! If you've never been, you have got to go. It's open the second weekend of each month. It is off 285, Jonesboro Rd. in Atlanta.
I recently purchased a set of old farm animal toys. Each one has made a great subject for painting. To make it seem more like a toy I used a cut piece of old printed paper with the animal sound stamped on to it. Then I attached it to the oil painting with a magnet. The printed word can easily be removed. Here is the first of a series of these animals.
