Olan Mills Portrait Series
%20Oil%20on%20p.jpg)
These palette knife oil paintings feature the vintage characters Howdy Doody, Charlie McCarthy and Felix the cat. The inspiration to create an Olan Mills portrait series came after repetitive rearrangement of the actual wooden dolls while trying to create a still life. This three children (doll) configuration reminded me of the days when families sat for the infamous Olan Mills family portrait. Although these paintings have been sold, commissions from this series are available. If interested, contact me at kachenevert@gmail.com for more information.
