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:

Time to go sailing! If only the wind carried splatter paint in berry tones, with a dash of yellow… It’s an ’80s abstract nautical painting signed by artist Miles Kay. And it can be yours through Etsy shop secreteyesonly:

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:

We end with a framed watercolor artwork print from Etsy shop cherryREVOLVER. It’s a Japanese koi pond in ’80s hues!
