Looking Back


30 Vintage Campers in 30 Days



Today is the day to look back at the January Challenge, so I made this collage. I hope you like it.
Thank you again to all the beautiful vintage camper submissions, and all your encouraging comments- this made this journey a blast! 

Also, special thanks to artist Leslie Saeta for posting the challenge- it was a great honour to journey with you and all the other artists. Leslie's blog is www.lesliesaeta.blogspot.ca 

Thank you all, there are a couple more projects lined up, which will be posted here as they are completed! 
Thanks for stopping by at this snow-blizzard-y day!

  4. It has been so fun visiting your blog over the 30 in 30 - my hub and I have a diesel pusher, but we came to it by way of campers and trailers..so viewing them and seeing them on the road and in 'parks' is always a fun time. Your paintings depict them in such a loving and personal way..as little the little HOMES that they are.

    1. thank you for your sweet comment... yes, the 'January Painting-a-day' is over now, but if you'd like to send me a pic, I am thinking of doing this again some time (if I can find enough vintage campers to paint;-)

  8. Love this collage! I am dreaming of one day owning a vintage beauty, but they are so hard to find here on Vancouver Island without driving across the planet. Would be quite costly not to mention the price of the trailer. So for now I live through you folks and your stories of your travels. Thank you for sharing this lovely reminder of days gone by Simone, it really is truly lovely!

  9. Hi suzyb, thank you for your sweet comment! Yes, I love those little trailer, too and hope to be renovating our little one soon... if you are looking for a trailer, you could check kijiji or look while driving, often they are abandoned on someone's property and they might sell it for little. But they do have rot most often and need work... For the time being, I am happy to paint them when I see them! Thank you again for stopping by, I'm sending you spring greetings from a cold, rainy New Brunswick;-)
