|
|
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... _________________ 1973 tin-top Baywindow... + Scooby Doo

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.

Pagerow, take some to a show, see how they do... I would not buy one, but I have no taste in art... _________________ 82 Westy ☢, 66 Splitty ☮, 73 Type 181 ✠ |

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 _________________ "You can lead an aircooled to water, but you can't make it drink"

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.
