EDNA
























8x8"  oil on cradled hardboard $85.00 plus shipping
SOLD



Meet Edna! She's pretty aloof. No one knows much about her except she's always in a hurry. She's just been invited to the big tree at the end of the drive for tea on Sunday. Folks are takin' bets as to whether or not she'll show.

We'll see.

  6. Hi there Dame Edna!

    Ode to a Lady in Red

    It's hard awfully hard for a Lady red,
    To live in a world so green!
    Where does a lady find a place,
    To be alone ... and not be seen?

    It's great to travel in circles wide,
    With its offers to come to tea...
    But.. I'd rather find a quiet place
    Where "I"... can just be "Me"!

    Love your Lady Suz!

    Good painting!
    Warmest regards,
    Bruce

  9. Didn't she make her debut in Under the Tuscan Sun???

    Love your little stories. Do they come to you as you paint them?

  10. LOL. Edna has quite the life! And this is BEAUTIFULLY painted! I love that shine on her hard shell (for lack of a better word). And I love her feet too. :)))

  11. Love Edna, and LOVE your story to go with her!
    It often happens to me while painting that the character on the canvas comes alive. Sometimes rather grumbling than happy though...
    I'm sure Edna will be the star of the party!
