Tuesday Treasures - September 28, 2021
Just one trip to a thrift store this past week, but it was a good one. A good thrift store, my favorite Goodwill in White City, and a good trip.
These fruit labels are from the 50's and were nicely framed at a local shop. I've actually picked fruit in Brentwood, CA (not the southern CA Brentwood, the agricultural one east of the Bay Area), although not cherries, Fuji apples. $1.79 each. I have two other framed labels I got at a garage sale years ago, labels from canned fish!
They're definitely blue and ruby red, right?
A floral still life. Not my usual pick, but I liked the diffused colors, the bit of blur to it. And the price was right for $2.69! Signed by either H or M Dykman. There are listed artists by both initials, but this isn't by either of them.
You may well ask, "Do you have space for more paintings?" Yes, I do!
I once saw a picture of a couple who had paintings covering every square inch of their walls, so I imagine you could find the room to hang more if you so choose :)
ReplyDeleteIf I do that I have loads more room!
DeleteThe horse, it looks very young. The tail is so short! I think the more paintings the better! I stop and look at mine all the time and they make me happy. Did you have a job picking fruit? Or was it a you-pick place. Either way, hard work.
ReplyDeleteIt could be young, I thought maybe the tail was bobbed. Quite a few racehorse paintings have a bobbed tailed subject. Horrid practice, horse or dog... or anything else I don't know about.
