"Light On Pemaquid" 4x8 gouache by Jeanne MacFarland
I love lighthouses and especially lighthouse keepers cottages. This one has such a vintage feel.

"Hers and His" oil on board by Jody Regan. These two lovely rockers sit on a porch in my neighborhood. I love their age, and their angle, as if they have witnessed decades of conversation and companionship.  My mother collected Flow Blue dishes, she adored them even if there was a petite crack or chip (kind of like us all). Flow blue is a style of earthenware, sometimes porcelain, originating in the 1820’s. The name explains it all, the blue glaze that blurred or “flowed” during the firing process. I am lucky enough to have some pieces from her collection and they are cherished. Vintage pieces for sure.  This is the best painting I've ever done concerting anything 'Vintage' - my mother's 1950's red whisk and my mother-in-law's Jadeite mixing bowl. I love it so much I could never part with it. |

I wore this vintage dress the day I was married, after I changed out of my rented costume wedding dress from Boston Costume (strange-I know!) We left my moms house while the party was in full tilt- now I wonder why? We missed the best part! On our way to Maine , where we honeymooned on a sheep farm B&B, we both realized we hadn't eaten, it was a pretty chaotic and unorganized but fun and wonderful wedding. We drove through a McDonalds on Rt 1 in Saugus, our car was festooned with balloons and streamers. The drive through person said "did you just get married? Good luck!" in a kind of snarky tone, but we laughed so hard. We have had good luck. Still married, 35 years!

Colored Pencil and Ink 8x10 Sketchbook Drawing
I dug deep into the archives for this drawing of a vintage 1969 Mustang from my art school sketchbook. I had to look up a photo to make sure the details were correct because ‘back in the day’ car designs changed incrementally, every year, mostly around the headlights and tail lights. My friend and fellow student Dave Saad, an avid Mustang owner and fan, added the inscription to my drawing, thus the title.
