Girl in a Dress #47 ("Bony Girl")

Boneygirl

Part of this girl started looking like a skeleton, so I just went with it. I'm not sure why so many of "my girls" look like cyborgs or monsters. We'll leave that to my future analyst to decipher.

Girl in a Dress #46 ("Mismatched Girl")

Mismatchedgirl

Somebody left the house with socks that don't match. And shoes that don't match.
Fashion faux pas? Trendsetting? Laundry day? As yet to be determined.

Girl in a Dress #45 ("The Rite Girl")

Theritegirl

It's about time spring was here; one could say it's the "rite" time?
This girl in her pastel-y colors couldn't agree more.

Girl in a Dress #44 ("Paisley Girl")

Paisleygirl

There are 2 layers of underpinnings for this painting -- the first was a page from a telephone book, and because I couldn't make rhyme nor reason from that, I finally got smart and added another layer -- a scrap of scrapbook paper with a paisley design. It was the paisley design remnant that gave this girl her name. I think I *might* be being influenced by all the manga that shows up in the cartooning classes I teach. And, hey: if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Girl in a Dress #43 ("Primed Girl")

Primedgirl

This girl's pinkness shows she's in the bloom of health, ergo: in her prime.
Also, being part robot, she's comprised of prime (phone) numbers (from the background yellow pages), and her engine's full of fuel and she's ready to go, or, dare I say it: primed?

Girl in a Dress #42 ("Dreadful Girl")

Dreadfulgirl
Her hair's full of dreads, ergo: she's dreadful. Oh plays-on-words, you're the best!

Blizzard

Robin2
The town of Trumbull (Connecticut) got 34.5" of snow dumped on it during this "Nemo" blizzard. The male robins "may" have come back a trifle too soon. This feller was sitting right outside the 2nd-story bathroom window.

Girl in a Dress #41 ("Fairfield County Girl")

Fairfieldcountygirl

The full title of this painting is "You Can Take the Girl out of Fairfield County, But You Can't Take the Fairfield County Out of the Girl", mostly because the backdrop is a map of Fairfield County (CT).

I was raised in Fairfield County, and when I was living in Massachusetts, I would say the above (to myself) with some frequency. Mostly because because let's face it, other places are different from where you grew up, and sometimes that takes some getting used to. When it became evident that I'd be moving back to Fairfield County, I'd have to stop myself mid-phrase, "You can take the girl out of Fairfield County..." and would have to acknowledge, "Oh, wait: no you can't."

Girl in a Dress #40 ("Baked Girl")

Bakedgirl
The title to this was orginally "Girl with a Problem", and that problem is not so much that this girl's oven mitts have turned into cyborg arms, but rather that this new bride has burned a pie for her husband. Problematic.
