"Village Antiques" Naive Quirky Figures in Folk Art

In the mood for some antique-hunting, but without spare mad money, I won't be doing it this weekend.

So here is my tribute to the perfect venue. I can almost smell the mustiness inside...



"Village Antiques"
20 x 16 acrylic on stretched canvas


Ah, well, it's not as if I really need anything, after all. I just want something...

Happy Birthday, Me! and MolMolly at Etsy

These wonderful pieces of art are by MolMolly of Etsy, an accomplished painter with a huge stash of glee up her sleeve, and they are perfect for Whimsy Friday. I'm mainly featuring her cats today, but she seems to like birds and ladies, too. I can just imagine how she'd illustrate a new version of Alice in Wonderland. I wonder if she's been approached?

It's my birthday today, so I'm treating myself to these as if they were birthday cards.









Check MolMolly's huge range of paintings and prints at her Etsy shop. Pretend it's your birthday.

Buy a cake. Invite some friends. And have a lovely weekend.

Tara Ross Studio at Etsy - Whimsical Art

It's Friday, and what better way to celebrate than to feature the whimsical images of Tara Ross? Nutty-looking, nonsensical, these paintings are lovingly crafted, and it's obvious Tara knows how to wield a brush. In fact, I think there's a lot more going on here than meets the casual eye. I suspect Tara has a whole other side to her, secretly producing huge Chagal-like dreamy canvases. I wonder if she'll comment on that. These are small pictures, including ACEOs, but she also has 'art you can hold'- stuffed fabric whimsies - at her site.

Have a nonsensical, happy weekend.
