A:



Key West

I probably paid too much for this, but it's truly a favorite of mine.



E:



Bird Must Fly

I have two paintings by this artist. Highly collectible. An acquired taste. His wife is an amazing ceramicist. I have two of her pieces.



H:



Lady in Red

The provenance of this one is a bit tricky - I think this is a most splendid painting. One of my very favorites.



B:



Red Truck

See below



K:



Dancing Still Life

I so enjoy the playfulness of this painting. It gives me smiles every day.




D:



Bridge Club

For me, this is *classic* Outsider Art with the skewed perspectives and whimsy on a slab of plywood.



F:




Amos

This is an original as are nearly all pieces in my collection. Prints of it were advertised in Home & Gardens in the 1950s.



C:



Ice Cream Stand

A fairly recent addition. I swoon for all its charm. The *canvas* is rusted roofing tin.



G:



Hotel California

Acquired when I first started collecting. Its simplicity takes me to complicated (and lovely) memories.



J:



Log Cabin

Purchased from a gallery in the valley below the Plateau where I live. A local artist. Tones of solitude that spoke to me.


I:



One of Three

This is my 50 cents canvas. I actually have a trio but deconstructed the installation to make room on my walls. :)



*****


Many of these are favorites of mine... though I have many, many favorites.

Red Truck is a crowd pleaser. I also have Yellow Truck.





There's lots of really awful stuff on Ebay, but I scroll through every so often and that's how I discovered Sonny - the 70 year old woman who paints these trucks. She lists them for $100 or Best Offer. Both times I've offered $100 - I couldn't bear to pay less. In a NY gallery they would easily sell for 4 figures.


That's about it with art at the moment. Thanks for stopping by.


Love.
