Thrifty Art Finds


vintage paintings
 
I love finding vintage art, especially at a good price!  There are a few of my recent finds.
 
vintage painting
 
Aren’t the colors pretty?  This is signed “Mary Elizabeth Lush 1937.”
 
vintage print
 
I have a thing for Audubon prints and this one will be a perfect Fall accessory.
 
duck painting
 
This really large duck painting was purchased from the auction a couple of weeks ago.  I love the blue colors but have not idea what I’m going to do with it.  There is a oily wet stain on the top of the mat that I don’t know what to do with.  It will probably end up in the booth.
 
sunflower painting
 
This was just a small unframed painting from GW.  The bright colors caught my eye!
 
hand painted saw
 
This country scene painted on a saw was another recent auction purchase.  It will be going to the booth this week.
 
Have you found any good art finds lately?

  5. Love the floral in the blue pitcher -- really pretty! The saw is fun -- I've always thought they were clever. I'll have to start looking at the art in thrift shops -- I usually just walk by since I have quite a bit of art already on my walls. But surely there's always room for more!

  6. What wonderful artwork you found! It is all very pretty, but I especially like the Audubon print and, yest, it will make a fine autumn decoration. Congrats on your great finds!
