Painted in 1986 by Palos Verdes artist Marie Sollom, this rosemaling-style canvas blends Scandinavian folk art with coastal California charm. Featuring a bluebird amid bright florals and a flowing ribbon, the piece is executed with elegant symmetry and vintage soul.
 
This specific painting was once loaned to the prestigious Sandpipers Holiday Home Tour in the late 1980s—an event beloved by locals for spotlighting beautifully curated South Bay interiors. That added bit of provenance makes it more than just a pretty piece—it’s part of our local design story.
Signed on the front and inscribed on the reverse, it’s a rare find for collectors of decorative arts, Palos Verdes ephemera, or those curating a warm, nostalgic space.
