...More Bathing Beauties 

Layering artwork with decorative objects
I like the idea of a white frame.  

I love to layer artwork with like objects.  In this above photo you are looking at one of my Bathing Beauties and some of my prints and seashell original paintings.  The seashell jugs were made back in the 60s for my grandmother and given to me.  

I like how this looks with the vintage/antique Red, white and blue quilt. 

This looks very 'seashore' to me.  I really love it.  Over the years I have collected a lot of quilts, this red, white and blue one is my absolute favorite.  Here are all of them paired with the partner that I felt went well together.  

He is navigating a toy boat, she is watching! 

He has a trowel for digging shells along with the goggles (around his neck) and
she is holding the shells as they are found.  

He is fishing and she is watching! Love the Fisher T-shirt. 

He is tossing the ball and she is watching (sort of).  

Nothing like a refreshing beverage, seaside! 

Go Fly a kite!  Try it in the water!  

In this picture you are looking at sections of the whole lot of them.  They were very time-consuming to paint but well worth it.  They are light, and fun, and full of interest.  If you are interested in purchasing the print of this, they all will be available thru Spicher and Co in April 2016.  You can also message me, I can get anything you want!!  

www.Spicherandco.com  is the company that I paint for.  These and many others will be on display at the Commerce and Design Building in High Point, NC April 2016 at the Furniture Market! 

These will be made available to the trade.

The Bathing Beauties 

Carrying a shell 

So these are my newest creations.  They are sort of a take off of the vices in a way.  My goal is to have 12 of these.  Currently, I am at number 7.  My idea is that I would have 6 ladies and 6 mendies, just kidding.  Men.  Six men.  

I like the idea of drinking something tropical while being in the water 

It's always fun to imagine what you might get to do when you go to one of those tropical places.  Really, anything you would like to do is available for money.  You can snorkel, rent a boat, look for shells, drink a beer or a soda, have a margarita! Whatever.  If you are lucky enough to live along the ocean, you may want to stop at our show room in High Point and check out these new bathing beauties.

This is why I need someone other than myself looking and critiquing things. 

What's wrong with this picture?  I didn't mean to, but she has the wrong finger up.  OH NO.  Here is the new revised version.  (Thank you Tommy for noticing).

Here are a bunch of them… 

I LOVE THE man.  

Wait, there's more.  

My aim is to have a match for each person.  Then you can mix and match them!  

This really is a fun project for me
I love to paint water and I love to pain sky. 

He's carrying a drink…For today's brewers and soda-ers. its all about the cool packaging.  In this instance, I am not saying what it is in the can, it could be soda…or…beer.  It's whatever.  I love to drink whatever.

I am going to post some more bathing beauties, hopefully, tomorrow!  Thanks for looking. 

ENJOY.

Everything is coming up Apples! 

Its has been a while since I posted and maybe you thought I hung up my paint brush for a season, WRoNG! I am still at it.  Since the last time I posted, mid January, I have been busy painting trees, birds, apples, and bathing beauties.  I have some other things, too, that I have been working on but am not prepared to reveal it all at this time.    

Nothing like a good Apple 

They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away.  Well…I am not going to say either way.  HOWEVER,  It does seems like I did better when I was consuming apples.  But, hey, if you say what you are doing, then you have people say, that if it is not medically proven, don't say it. Ok.  I won't say it. 

I love this green. 

I decided that I needed red ones too.  So I  went to the store and bought a bunch of different apples.  Now, I am eating them again daily.  Dare I say it?? 

Before the background… 

There are so many varieties of apples.  I decided against labeling them.  If they have a label, then people want to know why you did not paint the apple that they eat.  

I always ate this variety…  

But now I eat this variety.  

What is your favorite apple?  I am hoping that people like these.  Everyone loves apples and desserts made from apples.  Thanks for looking.  If you are interested in these prints, they will be available to the trade in April.  Go to www.spicherandco.com.  

ENJOY!
