~ Antique Rose Inspired Treasures # 2 ~

After a day of some gardening in the courtyard and a little of antiquing in town, I've decided to share some more rose oil paintings in our collection. I can smell the homemade spaghetti sauce Ray is cooking up as I am writing this post. yum-yum!

Being that our roses aren't ready to bloom outside yet. We get to enjoy the roses on the walls of our home. Till the outside garden blooms and shows us her colors. This one above is my favorite.

They are a wonderful collection of paintings that ladies did as a hobby, back in the late 19Th and early 20Th century.

I like this one with the bees hovering above these pretty red roses.

This one has a pretty frame and is painted on board.(above)

These yellow roses were my first rose oil painting that got me hooked on collecting roses, 13 years ago.

Here is a water color and gouache with bumblebees on the basket and flying above the roses. (below)

Some of our oil paintings are signed and dated by the women who painted them.
And that makes them, that more special to us.

We enjoy how some of them are real simple looking.

Thank You for stopping by today and I hope you have enjoyed the garden that hangs on the walls of our home...............Julian & Ray Tonight I will be linking on to * Vintage Thingie Thursday * Open House

*Vintage Inspiration Friday* * Feather Nest Friday # 24 * * Show And Tell Friday * * Saturday Showoff*

    I wonder if any of the artists could smell the food their beloved was cooking as they painted their roses?
    The paintings are so lovely. It is amazing that one subject can be painted in so many different ways!
    Happy Spring to you!

    Those ladies had a real talent.

    Those are all so gorgeous I can't even pick a favorite. All that I have are fakes. I never see any beauties like that.

    You have a fabulous collection of Sunday Afternoon paintings. I have a small collection also. And buy them to sell in my shop. I can't tell you the thrill when I find one while out treasure hunting. I found one once for $5.00 at a yard sale,.... in a gold ornate frame. woohoo. So nice to meet you. :) Lynn @thevintagenest
