Paintings of vintage cameras, adding machines and typewriters - what more could you ask for? Utah artist Wendy Chidester says, “I love to wander through antique shops and junk yards looking for old, worn objects to inspire me to paint. Things that most people pass by as junk make great subject matter for my paintings."
I love Chidester's work and I completely understand her desire to paint new life into these objects. Her paintings are very inspiring, especially since I've also been interested in painting some of my antique finds. I think we would be great antique buddies, and I would love to learn a thing or two about her amazing painting skills!
