Boardwalk Originals
by Bonnie Barrett
The pieces of Victorian Art created by Bonnie Barrett are known as Boardwalk Originals. Over the years, Boardwalk Originals have often become family treasures and heirlooms. Many people collect them and certain pieces, particularly those hand painted and retired, are especially sought since Bonnie ceased hand painting for the retail trade in 2006. The truly unique nature of each Boardwalk Original contributes greatly to their popularity and value.
For over 20 years (til the summer of 2006) most Boardwalk Originals were hand painted works of art crafted in the United State by Bonnie Barrett and her small staff of artists. Today, Bonnie's designs are digitally painted in the United States using high tech machinery that paints each piece directly on wood just as Bonnie originally designed it.
Boardwalk Originals begin as Bonnie's original paintings. The original paintings are photographed and the photos utilized by the highly specialized printer which digitally paints the wood. No paper is involved in this process. The design is printed directly onto the wood. The pieces are then cut out and, using additional specialized procedures, are made to appear antique and time-worn. Glitter is sometimes also added.
All pieces arrive complete with hangers. Many pieces also come with easy to apply wooden easels to make the piece self-standing.
