Frozen Charlotte is a little ceramic victorian doll that told the story of careless, disobedient Charlotte, who despite her mother' pleading, refused to wear her coat to a fancy party. As her mother predicted, a snowstorm came and Charlotte froze to death. 

Charming story, isn't it? :) 

I've seen lots of these dolls on  Pinterest lately and somehow they piqued my interest. So here are a few paintings.

This one is an exercise board.  If I'm having trouble with a subject, because it's too complicated, or I'm making it too complicated, I do tiny images.  All the detail has to be eliminated and the fundamentals are revealed.
