Paintbrush Study

Masabi Woman
Charcoal on Paper  -  1993
       I've always loved Art... Animation (those favorite childhood cartoons) paintings, sculpture.  Tangible guilty evidence was a first "drawing" at age 4 - an inked elephant to decorate the formerly prestine front cover of a prized encyclodepia volume (one of a precious set) to my mother's dismay.  I kept on drawing, utilizing more appropriate media.  Paper dolls began in 3rd grade.  Art classes in junior high, and later on at college level - along with those requisite courses in Art History, just so I'd have a thorough understanding of my work - and that of my great, renowned predecessors.  Intimidating, that.  But, I kept on in those early years - if sporadically. 
        Here showcased are a few favorites... some by me, & some favorite photos by my son.

Okay, I admit it... I have a vice.  I love dolls.  Cloth, porcelain, vinyl... Felt and carved wood.  There are some gorgeous collectible (or not) dolls out there - not to mention the artistry of those much-sought after Antiques.                       But, after all that - I still love my Paper Dolls best...
