Bargeware Art

Hi friends, today I thought I'd show you the lovely work of another friend of mine, Candy. I have always admired this kind of painting, I seem to think Tole painting may have evolved from it, not sure?

this first work of art is a house sign, so beautifully worked with enormous patience.


the picture is not such good quality here but I think you can still get the feel of how lovely the work is



                                   
I love this one, just like a fairytale! exquisitely painted.


transforming everyday objects into wonderful works of Art!
