Vintage works of big eyed art
Above the fireplace mantle in my living room is where i showcase most of my collection of late 1960's / early 70's children's paintings and prints.
I'm thrilled whenever i find one in the back of a thrift store, in a box at the second hand market or in my mailbox after winning an online auction.
Could you believe there are such sweet people who send you two additional pieces just because they know you collect them and thus know you will cherish them?
For real.
At first i didn't know if the good people made a mistake and sent me them by accident. I emailed to tell them i got two more than what the bid was made for. And what do you know, they did sent them on purpose. They thought i would like to have them in my collection. You're right i do! They had already captured my heart straight away.
Thank you, kind strangers!
Some works in my collection have been signed by the artist, some haven't. But unfortunately i haven't been able to find a lot of information about the ones that have been signed anyway.
These four are all by Idylle. The three are painted on wood, the one next to the Buddha is a paper print in an old plastic frame.
I will make more close up pictures of my collection soon.

Oh my, I love your collection (don't they look great displayed together?) I like the look of the bronze plates too, great finds! Some remind me of Igor Pantuhoff's paintings: www.thepaperbagprincess.com
