Girl in a Dress #33 ("Bacon Girl")

Guess I was influenced by looking @ the "meat" products on Archie McPhee this week...

Girl in a Dress #31 ("Liberty Girl")

Called "Liberty Girl" because she's red, white, & blue, and for really no other reason. Snore!

Girl in a Dress #30 ("Statuesque Girl")

It's not that she's tall & dignified as much as... she's made of stone.

Had to keep the bottom part of her dress the same color as the top, otherwise I'd have to start a whole new series of paintings entitled, "A Girl in a Blouse & Skirt". And that just wouldn't do.

Girl in a Dress #29 ("Girl-Goyle")

She ain't much of a girl; it ain't much of a dress.

Gotta hand it to her. Before she hands it to you.

Girl in a Dress #28 ("Cold Girl")

Here's one hand...

... and here's the other...

Girl in a Dress #27 ("Storybook Girl")

This painting was tricky to do, which was to be expected, given the challenging stripe-y background I gave myself. 

Calling this one "Storybook Girl" because of the dress, the nod to Rapunzel hair, & because of the "Table of Contents" text.

Girl in a Dress #26 ("Pretty Girl")

You know the saying, "Beautiful girls want to be told they're smart, and smart girls want to be told they're beautiful" ? Well, that's why the title of this painting ISN'T "Smart Girl".

This painting reminds me of a vodka ad because of the white on red strip of type that's part of the background, a la Smirnoff. Here's a bonus for me: my favorite #, 24, is a part of her blouse. I must've done something right in my life for that to happen.

Girl in a Dress #25 ("The Long Arm of the Girl")

The background for this painting is a B&W page from the phone book that had some blocks of yellow advertisements, hence the final color scheme. Did a wash of metallic silver acrylic on the prepped canvas, and a little of this shininess comes through in real life.

Girl in a Dress #24 ("Atta Girl")

Atta Girl is some kind of pep squad/cheerleader from the '40s, with a decidedly modern 'do.
