I've chosen to show some vintage Christmas/winter oil paintings that are propped up or hanging in our Christmas cabin. These are either paint-by-numbers or naive free style paintings.
The cabin has a Christmas tree motif. Most of these paintings (all found at thrift stores or in garage sales) include pine trees - bare or green.

I'm not thrilled with the clarity of this picture. If you look closely, you can see the Christmas tree pin I'm wearing on the lapel of my thrifted (Pendleton) black jacket.(I have a small collection of Christmas tree pins.)
I'm wearing a pretty simple outfit for a pretty complicated day! I'm also using this outfit to illustrate Holiday Health Tip #7.
Your collection is very interesting and sure don't look like what I remember paint by numbers. I love the Christmas "jewels" too. Thanks for sharing. Judi
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of collecting paintings of Christmas trees. They are all wonderful and must make your cabin very cozy. Happy Vintage Christmas Monday!
ReplyDeleteThe paintings are so homey and fun :)
ReplyDeleteBut what I like is how comfortable you look in your thrifty items of clothing.
I think you have given me an idea...maybe I should post about all the items I find in thrift stores and how I put them together...ummm...something to think about :)
Grace & Peace to you dear friend,

Hi there-a lovely post and I like the outfit, very casual chic-the scarf really makes it!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that the first and third paintings are paint-by-number....
ReplyDeleteOh your paintings are beautiful, and what a lovely place for them, in your cabin... Bisous... Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteVery pretty paintings! Love your thrifted outfits! Mine are usually thrifted as well! What a great way to save money so I can buy more vintage things.

You lucky girl! Those paintings are so wonderful, and I bet they make your cabin so cozy and homey. You've inspired me to try to find some of these for my home. Love them!
ReplyDeleteHappy Vintage Christmas!

These paintings all remind me of vintage Christmas cards! All so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a Christmas cabin!
Love to you, Eileen
I loved looking at all your paintings. How fun to have them all at your cabin. I would agree that a couple are paint by number, but still look so good. They seem to capture the spirit of Christmas well.
ReplyDeleteI love these paintings...especially the final pbn snowy tree seen...ahhh the quiet woods on a snowy eve, nothing but snow crunching under your feet....so peaceful. Happy VCM!

What great pleasure to come and "meet" so many new friends! Thanks again for stopping in to leave your comments and observations. Hope to see many of you next Monday for VCM.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted you to know that I featured one of your pictures in my recap of the Vintage Christmas Monday party yesterday. Thank you for sharing them with us! xo Joan
ReplyDeleteJust lovely! I especially like the first one with the skaters and the last one with the snowy trees. I collect vintage paintings and prints with a nautical theme for our beach cabin in Rockaway Beach, Oregon. Beautiful poem about growing old...thank you for that!
ReplyDeleteStop by my blog for a little vintage Christmas junk adventure!

I do love the paint by numbers! I'm just discovering your blog, so I must go back and explore!
