    The work in this is just gorgeous Linda, and the color palette so rich. Your attention to detail is always just extraordinary. I love Herman!

    Another masterful piece, Linda. Speaking of “forgotten bits and bobs”, I’m curious as to the significance of the tattered lottery/raffle/theater ticket with the partial identifier “No. 35…” . Mayhap an inside joke between the artist and herself?

    I really like this, conjures up so many thoughts in my head of how we gather things as we go through life. And that little sign; Please turn out light. I wonder what happens then in the dark. I echo Rusty’s words. “…charming and painted so well”.

    Linda, I love bits n bobs! Especially, in this setting. Herman looks so real, a guinea pig, right? We owned two for a little while…very cute noises they make and their ‘popcorning’ is something to witness!

    This is such a whimsical piece, and beautifully done. It reminds me of one of my favorite artists, Charles Wysocki. I especially like the smile on the bear!

    Sarah, Yep! a guinea pig! He actually belongs to one of my neighbors kids….. he’s so cute to watch.
