"lonely: 1" felt lonely...so i made her a friend!

 

EXPLANATION OF THE PIECE:

 

this past summer i was traveling down a back road in utah and saw a old baby doll sitting on the front porch of an antique store. i was drawn to her.

since i have so many old baby dolls sitting in my art studio, and little room for another, i decided to take a photograph of her so i could remember her.

she looked so lonely to me (hence the title). perhaps lonely for her "long ago" little girl owner?

when i came home i knew i wanted to make an art piece to remember her.

i "worked on" the colors of the photograph to suit the painted wood.

 

and here she is.....lonely.

 

but now she has a friend.
