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.

Donation to Wilton Historical Society, 2018

Happy Whale

by Pennsylvania Artist

Kolene Spicher

The shipshape in the birds' eye piece front and center is what I chose this year to donate to the Wilton Historical Society's American Artisan Show fundraising event.

Each year we pick a piece to donate because let's face it, preserving our history is important and this society does a lot of good in their community. I am happy to be involved with this event.

This frame is a sweet one. It has some age, and I believe it is an antique but barely. Some of my frames are really old, 19th century, this one is probably 50 years old.

The ship is watercolor in technique and there is a little pen and pencil work in there, too. It is carefully antiqued and the paper is thin like rice.

I like to photograph my work with other pieces of my work. My art will all hang well together. I generally paint with a similar palette.

Thanks for taking the time to look today. If you can make it to the show, it will be wonderful. It starts Thursday evening, November 1, 2018 at 6:30. The opening night is a fund raiser and is $125 a ticket. This piece will be auctioned off at that event. If you can't pay that price tag, please consider coming on Friday and/or Saturday. The gate is $10. It is held at the Wilton, Ct Historical society, Wilton, CT.

Enjoy
