Kolene Spicher

A blog about my thoughts and my love of artwork as it develops. It reflects some of the basic steps that I go through to achieve the artwork which is eventually presented to Spicher and Co, an innovative design firm that manufactures artwork for the trade. The why, what, how, and where are a few of the questions that I attempt to answer as I blog away! This is a tiny window into the life of a painter, and my hope is that my love for life shines through in the objects that I work to create.

Soldier Painting Williamsburg Style

Williamsburg Style Reproduction Painting

Nautical Soldiers

This painting is featured in an antique frame. I believe it was an old Currier and Ives frame. The finish is in good condition. I did not have a piece of antique glass for this one, however.

The colors are vibrant without being brassy

The technique on this painting, while not unique, is common for me. It is what I would refer to as Pen and Ink with watercolor. I love the ships in the background and the symmetry of this piece. I love the yellow, too.

Check out the flags. I have two American and two British. To me, this screams

Colonial Williamsburg.

This give you an idea of the scale.

Both of these paintings will be for sale on ETSY. Please message me if you have any questions.
