A Day at the Beach

We are on a water and beach themed buying streak for oil paintings these days.

Looking at beach themed paintings is very restful.  We buy them whenever we see them--and we are selling them at Odana Antiques in Madison Wisconsin.  We hang them up--and they sell.  FAST.

We just returned from a restock trip--and within 24 hours--we had sold seven things we had just put in--including a wonderful water scene oil--the skyline of Chicago from the vantage of being in Lake Michigan.  Lovely.  Sold too fast--I don't have a photo for you.

Summertime paintings sell well--much better than winter scene paintings.  Spring sells better than autumn themed oils.  Maybe it is the longer days and brighter scenes and the good feelings that spring and summer spread.  People want those on their walls.

The painting above is by a french artist--and was probably purchased while the previous owner was on holiday there.  I wouldn't mind hanging it in our house for awhile.

But I would rather someone else would buy it and enjoy it...
