My wife has become quite a fan of Bays since we got ours last year. So much so, that she has started doing a few watercolors...

Here's a picture of her first try: "Peace, Love and VWs"

I know, the VW is funky on the front, but it's her first try, and watercolors are difficult in making thin lines.

They are on little canvas frames (only 3 inches square!), but she's thinking of making some larger prints of these, and maybe in a single frame.

Just curious what you think... Would anybody be interested in buying something like this? Please be honest... :)

I think they are pretty cool. I would put them in my house for sure

My wife has done a couple for me of our bus.

She has a painted furniture business, so the bus fits in good with her beach scenes.

Check out her site and my pictures.

I thought it was a swiss army hub-cap at first.. :)

Pagerow, take some to a show, see how they do... I would not buy one, but I have no taste in art...

I really like them. Their simple. I would not buy one only because I too have no taste in art and would rather spend my money on my VW addiction.....although they would look cool in my garage!

Here's a poster in my garage, you may like?

Here's a 1962 bus hatch I framed and put some old decals and new stickers on. I used the fabric from the curtains I had back in 1978.

Wished I had used a later bus hatch (bigger window), I still have a bunch of old decals :cry:

I snapped this pic with my cell phone at the Orange County Fair last year in one of the art exhibits. If I remember correctly it was done by either a girl in college or high school for the art program. Unfortunately, it was not one of the pieces for sale.
