Most of you probably know already that I have been taking art classes in oils for over two years now.\u00a0 My paintings are mostly based on photos that I have taken while traveling.\u00a0 Recently, I was painting a French scene involving an old house, a river, a bridge, and pots of flowers hanging on the bridge.\u00a0 I wasn’t getting the colors quite right so I went to the internet and found a painting to use as my color inspiration.\u00a0 However, the more I looked at that painting, the more I fell in love with it.<\/h3>\n

\"Bicycle<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was an original pallet knife oil painting of one of my favorite cities, Amsterdam.\u00a0 It happened to been a canal scene, and there was a bike leaning against a bridge over the canal.\u00a0 Plus, I loved the colors.\u00a0 They were so vibrant.\u00a0 I contacted the artist and bought it.\u00a0 It arrived while we were in Colombia<\/a>, and I picked it up from the frame shop last week.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Bicycle<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

I love, love, love it!!!\u00a0 It adds so much color to our great room walls, and it is so me.\u00a0 And it even looks nice with Mr. Right’s Lazy Boy.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

This collage gives you a close-up of the vibrant colors.\u00a0 And did I mention that its title is “Bicycle in Amsterdam”?<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Bicycle<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

I shopped the house to come up with some items that had the same colors as the painting and also played well with the navy lamp that was already on the table.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Bicycle<\/p>\n

The painting that was hanging in this spot has a new home in our upstairs hallway, and it looks so much better there.\u00a0 You’ll get to see it in its new spot later this week.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hope you all had a good week-end.\u00a0 Jordan told me that the Lilly sold out in minutes.\u00a0 Paint her face sad.\u00a0 Thanks for stopping in.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Take care.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
