I really am not a big fan of auctions, but this past Sat. I decided to go to one. There was not much else going on, and I planned to go to the preview and then leave if there wasn’t anything that was worth my time.
I ended up running into an old friend, and while we were catching up, this watercolor of parrots came up and I decided to jump in. I don’t have much confidence in myself at auctions, but I ended up with this work of art! I really love it, and had a couple of vendors who have had much more experience than I have take a look at it, and they both priced it much higher that I did! So, I marked it up! It may not sell, and if it doesn’t that’s okay! It may get a turn coming home with me in the spring! I think it would look great on my porch. I thought about painting the frame…what do you think? And what color??
Thanks for stopping by, and please join in by linking a 2nd Time Around post below!

Thanks for hosting 2nd Time Around Tuesday. Such a cheerful flock of parrots.

Good morning Diane, We are back home and we have a bit of snow this morning.
I love the parrots and I don't mind the frame just like it is now. I hope it sells fast. Smile.
Hugs, Jeanne
It is beautiful and I like the frame fine as is. If you were to paint it I might try a shade of blue. Or go bold and bright red!
I saw your link on Jeanne's blog and hurried over! I'm so happy to join you today! thanks! ♥
It's a very pretty and colorful painting, Diane. I attended an art auction once and was overwhelmed by how fast the bids added up. I did not buy a thing, but I enjoyed the free champagne being given out..lol!
Good morning! My blogging has been sketchy lately, but my thrifting is going on full force :)
Hi, Diane, just came by to link...you must be out Christmas shopping. lol
