this is lonely. she has now joined her friends in this "lonely doll" series.

i think the series is now complete.

lonely is not lonely anymore as she now has all her friends...and of course she is never lonely when you dear flickr friends come to visit her.

 

 

EXPLANATION OF 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 happen to have an old piece of painted wood that i found in the trash and knew it would be perfect.

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

 

and here she is.....lonely
