Recreating, the past?

My mother, Dianne White, had several series in her short career as an artist. One series we all enjoyed were the Yellow Ladderbacks.

They were cute, whimsical oil paintings ranging in size from 16 x 20 to 3 x 5. An estimated 50 pieces were created. Many showed Raggedy Ann & Andy dolls in various pose. Some depicted myself, age 3, 4 & 5. 

Most were sold to doctors, pediatricians & other childrens medical offices in and around Mandarin & Jacksonville Florida from 1972-1974. Below are all I was able to retain of this expansive series.

                                   

Mom often discussed bringing the series back because they were simple and sweet pieces.
Although she never found the time, I have made the time.

So along with my other abstracts and trees I have decided to create some Yellow Ladderbacks as an ode to my mom. Here is what I have created thus far...

I will update with more progress later once my holiday shows are complete.
