What a nice surprise to have a friend send me an email showing two of the primitive paintings I did in the early 1980's. I sold over 350 large paintings, about 250 of them children. (of small paintings, like 9 x 12, there were too many to number and keep track of.) Two of my favorites were portraits of blond twin girls in Connecticut, of actual contemporary children but painted in this style. This pair with the vivid coloring and stencilled floors was a great joy to do! I made so much of this art! It happened mostly between 1972 (first one) and 1984. And now it is gone from my hands, I cannot make them happen with the complete ease and elan of that time, I am attempting to recreate a lost one for my daughter Beth, of Granddaughter Sarah, and it is no wise the same! I would like to do several of them just to have about. A nice pastime for hot weather. Edyth
