Antique Doll Head - painting by 


Copyright © 2009 Linda Apple
“Antique Doll”
oil on masonite – still life antique

This is a rare old antique doll from a collection that had belonged to my mother-in-law.
I love dolls and make my own Art Dolls. This gal has a lot of sentimental value and has been loved by many.
I couldn’t part with her so I thought I would do this painting to capture her personality.

If you like the above painting…… It is in one of my books of 50 images titled: Art Journal of Daily Life – volume one available- just click here

WELCOME TO MY ART!
I have been a painter and sculptor for over 43 years professionally and after all this time, I still love it. It is challenging, makes me think about the world and keeps me connected to life.
My art is a mix of realism and impressionism with a bit of humor thrown in.

    Absolute favorite. Her head looks just like my Betsy Wetsy doll (50’s). So I love her all the more.

  • Well, it isn’t a Betsy doll but a very close relation! Cool that it gave you a moment of ol’ memories! Thanks!
