'The Wonderful Pink Hat' - On back of canvas is written: 'Dress Rehearsal' (Holly)

. . . . . . .




NOTES: "This was done in 1965. Holly bought this hat in a second hand store, and reluctantly posed for me several times. Her father carved the frame, which I think adds a lot to the picture." - [Barbara Larner] - NOTE: My mother worked on this again in the 1980s and again in the late 1990s --each time I lost a bit of innocence and looked more serious! --and I think I look pretty mean here!! Should find a photo of the first edition . . . .

Oil on canvas, 36" x 28" [including frame]. [1966 on back of canvas]
