Tattoo Art - Patriotic Commerce and Trade Advertisement Painting by Kolene Spicher

Commerce and Trade 

Closeup of Eagle 

I don't know why, but I am very interested in RED, WHITE, and Blue.  I love the patriotic look.  I think it is very 'current' and FUN!

This is more of my "retrieved" wallpaper type art.  In case you don't remember, this is a technique that I created whereby the paper is crackled and looks like it was 'peeled' off of a wall, possibly!  I love the rich colors and the bright red banner that is across the bottom of this painting.

The artwork is chalk full of little sayings that are pointing the buyer to buy HERE.  Let's keep the money in the USA and that's my goal.  Whenever possible, I buy handmade American products.  I love to help an artist out.  This keeps the creative people creating!

I really liked the lightness of the water area.  This would be lost if I were to fill it in with another boat or fish or whale, etc.

  

Here is painting laying on top of the beautiful  antique frame; it is in wonderful condition!  

This painting and all that I have posted of late are for my Bedminster Show in Doylestown PA.  Take a look at the flyer below.  As mentioned before, message me if you want a ticket.  I have some to hand out!  They are going out this week! 

Let me know if you would like tickets for this, it is a very high quality Art Show!

ENJOY!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL THIS STYLE…Crazy.  I was having a bit of fun today painting trying some new things and WALA! 

The first thing I did was craze the paper.  This is always an unpredictable thing to do to paper.  I am never sure how it will turn out.  But you know, I really like it.  

It has a sort of TRADER JOE's feel to it.  

The little ding on the right middle doesn't detract.  You don't notice it.  

I have been in love with gold ever since I fell in love with Restoration Hardware.  I love their wall of antique gold frames that hang in their flagship store in NYC.  I painted my walls grey in my living room because I LOVE IT that much!   I just can't seem to keep myself from buying every gold frame I find.  Back to the painting.

I've always been a fan of anything that has to do with a trophy.  Maybe it's because I never won one!!  I love the idea of all the competition and racing and sportsmanship that enter in to receiving a trophy.  I think they look really good in front of artwork, too, BTW. 

Look at the details of this frame. 

Here's another shot - different location.

This painting is intended for my Bedminster Show in September.

If you can make this show and would like to have tickets, let me know!  I am happy to get some for you and a friend to enjoy!  

Thanks for looking!
