Thrifting star find Mary Southard vase

Image
  Lovely haul from the weekend. I found this old original oil painting that charmed me. It is really old based on the back as I think it is painted on board and the frame is old and secured with nails. I love this naive scene of children at the mill wheel. I can imagine someone spending their time painting it...and Id say its from 1900s. Lovely boho bangle on brass and colorful chips on the black back round. Wearable with anything really. Another boho vibe candle holder from Safi, Morocco. It is known region for pottery for centuries. I found this interesting video on YouTube https://youtu.be/X5c67TSKnzA?si=KMDhX7JSVDT_9i7L I have a quite collection of Interior Design books by now. But I so enjoy to browse them so I keep picking them. I still have little more space for them...but soon I need to start listing them on Ebay. This one is by Carol Meredith https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10245253-room-by-room                   ...

Melanie Kempkes oil paintings

  I discovered Melanie from EBay. She is German in nationality and does great oils with reasonable prices. She seem to be influenced a lot by Period Drama Movies or Books as she has a lot those themed romantic and sensual paintings along with nature paintings. But I find myself often drawn to her portraits. I am yet to find proper frames for the pictures but since they are smaller format I just decorate around with them by leaning them against anywhere...really.  Here is link to her shop:  https://www.ebay.de/usr/watercolor_arts Support the artists by buying their work! 

Reg Mummery

" The Blue Girl " by Reg Mummery instantly caught my attention as this is so different from his usual work that Reg sells on EBay. The smoky eye look and colours are great. I was not able to catch colours into photo in it's full glory. I dont know about Reg as an artist but his usual work is British naive, kind of Lowry style. This one is different and I love it. I am so happy to own it. I only need to find frame for it. His works on Google Images

Anna Glodek

I was excied and happy to find this painting and even afford it. Here is what seller wrote about her: Here is a beautiful, eye-catching painting by Maryland artist Anna Glodek.  It is framed and although the sticker says 8" by 10", it is NOT it is actually bigger at 13" by 10" and the painting itself is larger than 8x10.  I believe this was painted in the early 2000's when she was showing in local galleries around Maryland.   These photos really do not do justice to the art. It has a wonderful, heavy texture.  The painting itself is in excellent condition with no damage. The The simple metal frame has a couple small scratches.   This is a real gem of a painting.
