Drawing challenge / Paper doll drama






Between the folds of her skirt lives a little girl, a litttle girl blowing bubbles.
She knows that little girl, but she's not always aware of her presence .
Though sometimes the tickling of the bursting bubbles makes her giggle...
or sigh , or smille.
(She knows now, some dreams are meant to be just dreams.)

The beauty of the shiny bubbles will keep surprising her and the little girl  doesn't 
make any preparation to leave (she will probably live there forever).

For more paper doll drama please visit the wondrous world of 
Norma.


Happy weekend! X

    so beautiful!
    so magical, romantic... is it a self-portrait?
    say hello to the little girl

    Hi, my dear Renilde, I come to see Stefanie's paper doll, and really, both yours and Stefanie's are two works of art!!!!!. I love when you open the dress, and one can see the picture, great! (the girl without a face is a great mystery which I love)
    You are a great and admired artist, as always! ♫

    So wonderfully clever I love it! -as usual;)
    I am wondering like Stefanie if it is a self portrait...
    Hope you have a great weekend! x

    thank you, renilde.
    this has been HIGHLY entertaining. reminding me of the girl with the match sticks as well, it still very much makes me think of you and of your style i have seemingly come to recognize and appreciate so well. your magic works perfect for this kind of movable drama, which is just fantastic.
    and yes! i am enjoying those blue skies. i also think the orange peppers are beginning their beguine. do you think it is possible?

    Ohhh,
    dear Renilde,
    wonderful!
    That breathtaking moment of pulling the thread that lifts her arms and open her wide skirt!
    And than your words... that story!

    Well, for me its totally clear that you show us a selfportrait.
    And look! Aren't there some shiny bubbles flying through your garden?!

    Love
    xAriane.

    beautiful expression of the inner child. i love the trinket, to pull the string, revealing dreams.

    good job!

    dearest Renilde,

    ah, your words
    they moved me
    a little girl blowing bubbles
    which makes her giggle
    I love that
    and your work, as always, so fine
    I love the softness, the light blue
    and that bird!
    great job Renilde, it seems that every theme
    fits you well

    love
    x

    Lovely work! For some reason (no idea what reason!)I've been doing quite a lot of 'big dress' girls lately, there seems to be a whole world to explore within the fabric, so many possibilities! :)

    hi renilde,

    thank you for your nice words about ladelle... : )

    i very much relate to your doll; she reminds me of me, and i love the delicate soft way in which you've painted her. and i also love how her arms bring the skirt up to reveal her!

    very nice to meet you and your beautiful work.

    xoxo

    Renilde, she is so serene and calm and beautiful. I love the coloration throughout. Those blues! The sweetness here is exactly what we need in our lives. What a beautiful creation you have made. I love your painting style. You have your very own style. I sure hope that I have my own one of these days! This is really nice and I love her. *smiles* Norma
