Kolene Spicher original painting of a lady from the 19th Century Regency era -For my love

For My Love 

An original Silhouette Painting of a Lady in red

I think that I have as much fun taking pictures of my artwork as I do actually painting it.  This wonderful french book that I photographed the original on was recently purchased while away in Atlanta.  I really love the book.  I think the silhouette looks outstanding on it, too.  I have made cards of this that look JUST LIKE THIS above picture, if you are interested.  Let me know. 


Here she is framed.  I love the contrasting blues of the books and the stripes.  Wow, if I had a room with stripes and jewel tones like this, I would have so much fun with my artwork and a camera.  

The sides of this are just beautiful. 

The back of these Italian frames are very nicely assembled.  I really like the beautiful paper.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, they are hand made, too. 


Finally, here is another shot of this little miniature.  You can also look at it on ETSY.  It is for sale on my ETSY store KOLENESPICHER.

19th Century Reproduction Antique American Folk Art Child's Portrait

Lizzy

The Silver Spoon

She Was Barely One! 
She loves anything that moves and makes noise
hence the bird!  

This is a portrait of a little girl.  Actually, this is my niece and I will be giving this as a first birthday gift!  She is the most amazingly beautiful little gift and I couldn't wait to illustrate her likeness. 

She was Barely One! 
Everyone loves polka dots and this girl's personality can carry off Red like no other!  Full of fun and smiles, she is the best little baby! 


Why did I give her a silver spoon.  Well, this part is sort of tongue in cheek.  She's blessed.  She has so many people that adore her and she was so very wanted.  Everyone is happy to see her ALL THE TIME. But mostly the reason for the silver spoon is her incredible love for eating.  I have never seen a baby get so excited when she saw a jar of baby food.  She is in love with eating! 

This one's a gift from me! 
Thanks for looking!  Have a great day! 

Check out my Etsy store KOLENESPICHER.  Right now I have a miniature portrait for sale: 

The little round one! 


Enjoy the snow!
