I finished working on this vintage radio painting yesterday and I just love it! I found the vintage radio at an estate sale, where I dug around and found it in the attic. I think I got it for a couple of bucks and I am still mesmerized by the turquoise color of the 60's. So far this summer I can't seem to get enough of estate sales. If I see a sign I have to immediate make an emergency 9-1-1 stop! and have a look around. I think it might be the adrenaline rush of finding the perfect vintage treasure.
I always paint a little bit of still life when I need to mix things up in my work. I am also still not painting in my studio but painting in my kitchen... Maybe it's a sign of change? I am thinking my studio might need a complete makeover! I have started making my list of diy projects for me to tackle or should I say transform my studio- more on that soon. I'm adding it to my
summer goal list. How is your Thursday going? I still can't believe it's the last day of June!

i absolutely love the painting of the radio, erika! it is fantastic! i listen to a transistor radio during the day (am), so that vintage version is a great find and the color is the best. does it work?

A sweet radio to paint. I love it!! xo
I like your blog! I'm experimenting with oil painting this summer and I am curious about using wood for a surface. Do you like that better than canvas?
It looks good!! I love old radios. A studio makeover it's always a good idea. When I didn't have my shop and was working from home, i was always changing my studio a bit...it's refreshing.
this painting is amazing!
Oh wow. This is totally awesome!
That is super awesome! Estate sales . . . I need to try that. California is so picked over. But this weekend, I'll be in a tiny Washington town for the 4th, and I've saved lots o' room in my suitcase for vintage treasures!

I hope you find some great estate sales this weekend.
