In the heart of every girl

Our solo artist Deanne Lemley is known for her landscape paintings on location. But did you know she has many still life paintings in oil and watercolor? This featured still life of the dolls is a romantic notion of childhood. Crisp bright colors of starched white and pale pink. Two roses prone. Flushed rosy faces of bygone dolls. The ballerina slippers front center. The soup tarrine and photo frames coming out of a trunk from the past. What precious things held in the heart of every girl gradually grown up. A green perfume bottle, tin can and what is that? Her favorite black boots too! This runs the gamete of a woman's heart. The golden years are not in the future but in the past it might be saying. Timeless art style for your interior today! What do you think of? Do you think the artist meant to say something more?
