Antique Oil paintings.....






I have always loved antique oil paintings of Roses since i can remember.....i think it stems from my great grandmothers love of roses,she had everything in her home full of roses,even the wallpaper was huge cabbage roses,my grandmother Madeline loved them as well, she even smelled like roses! I have enjoyed painting roses now for over 7 years, each year they seem to evolve which is a good thing :) I have been collecting1800's -1900's oil paintings and collecting photos of them to reproduce on canvas using the Archival ink process called Giclee` it is a french term meaning " to Spray". I have just started offering my new canvas prints ,stretched with sides painted as well for a true authentic antique look that we shabby romantics love! I have been searching for the most romantic paintings to find these charming beauties from the past. I believe we all should be able to have their charm grace our home. I hope you will enjoy my new collection available to everyone . This collection will continue to grow so i will keep you all posted!
