I purchased a painting by the artist Guerra from Hidden Treasures Thrift Store on June 10, 2023.
The serene landscape painting captures the essence of a picturesque tropical beach, with swaying beach grass and gentle waves lapping against the shore. A stately lighthouse stands tall on the right side, adding a touch of maritime charm to the image.
Purchase price: $1.99
I painted a rubber flamingo (plastic flamingo bath toy) on the piece and returned this “new” artwork back to the same thrift store on 07/08/2023, around 2pm.
A successful collaboration! Thank you, Guerra, for your contribution to the work!
The finished painting by Guerra and Seamus Liam O’Brien - 2023
The Guerra painting depicts a serene beach at sunrise(?) with a lighthouse on the right side.
Original artist signature found on the bottom right side of the painting - “Guerra.”
The flamingo bath toy that was used as my model for the piece.

I painted a large pink flamingo behind the wave in the center of the painting.
I signed my name under Guerra’s when I finished my portion of the artwork -
“Guerra + Seamus Liam O’Brien 2023”
Once completed, I brought the painting back to Hidden Treasures Thrift Store and placed it on the shelf.
