  1. Ellen? Pretty sure that this is the Ellen that did the, what was it? Purple llama. something like that. I think what she is saying is "Mr DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up now." Love her pose and her mouthful of teeth.

  2. Oh wait a minute, now I am not so sure, in fact I am leaning towards Truver as the artist.

  3. Ellen, this is great! You've definitely got her smile and the body posture. You can just see how happy and excited she is. Glad to see you posting. And Ken, this IS Ellen of the purple llama. Hope we're not too confusing with all the Ellens and Elaines.

  4. One more thing.... I love the way you kept the background so subtle. Just enough that you know it's there, but not to pull focus from the subject.

  5. Not sure which Ellen this is, but it’s very nicely painted! The pose is great and love the economy of brushstrokes, like the fur on her collar, hands in the pockets. Fresh & lovely!
