Title or Location: Elaine
This painting is of a dear friend, Elaine. Having worked for many years as an Art Teacher, Elaine is a well loved, vibrant and interesting woman with many a tale to tell. Not only of her career but also her childhood, growing up in Ireland. Many people have commented at the soulful look in her eyes and I tried to capture this within the painting.

Title or Location: Old Fashioned Girls-Antique Doll Collector Magazine
The photo that I worked from was in Antique Doll Collector Magazine. When I finished it, a noted antique doll dealer bought it from me, and then showed it at a doll convention, telling everyone that it was by an unknown Victorian artist. When I saw my painting in the dealer's booth, I told her helper that the doll was made in 1914, after the Victorian Age was over...and that I was the artist. The look on her face was priceless. They did sell the painting, though, after all.
