Ready for a little escape? In this edition of ’80s Art Picks, we explore summer style with a series of retro and new finds that capture the colorful, beachy vibe of our warmest season. The brush strokes are wavy, the hues are tropical, and the lines are relaxed–like your ideal vacation! Above we see an original painting by Joseph LaPierre from eBay store Rack N Roll. Below is a vintage ’80s silk scarf with a watercolor graphic print from Etsy shop Babe Bible:

Flamingo fever has inspired a whole new round of ’80-style art. This vivid print from Kelly Tracht is definitely a new item, but the loose brush strokes, flamingo motif and radiant colors definitely evoke the 1980s:

Ready for a little vacay? If you can’t leave town, hanging one of these pieces on your wall just might help…Happy Monday!
Too bad the nautical one is sold out. Would have got great in my room.
