We are experiencing extraordinary rainfall in July.  It has rained every day and many days we have had major downpours along with the expected thunder and lightening. I am reminded of the old saying “Rain, rain go away…come again some other day!” Since I am not able to take photos outdoors, I have been playing with a new computer application that transforms a photograph into a work of artistic expression. Specifically, this program creates a “water” color expression of a photo and I have to say that this “water” medium is most appropriate at this time and it is also a wink and a nod towards our dreary weather. 😉 So, making the best of a bad weather situation, I hope you have a substantial sized cup of tea and/or coffee to sip while you sit back, relax and view this substantial sized post.  I hope you enjoy these Sasha Shangri-La watercolor masterpieces. 😉 Abby, an A1 early studio girl. ❤ Amber, 1966 Gotz girl. ❤ Sylvia, 1966 NP girl. ❤ Heidi, Janet Myhill-Dabbs repaint, 1970’s Trendon girl. ❤ Finn, 1967 NP boy. ❤ Tink, Kelly Wenarsky repaint. ❤ Gwennie, BIII studio girl. ❤ Ryder, 1960’s Gotz straight nose boy. ❤ Zoey, 1967 NP girl. ❤ Claudia, 1968 Dungarees girl. ❤ Smootch, Janet Myhill-Dabbs studio doll rendition. ❤ Joy, 1966 NP girl. ❤ Ellie and Betsy, 2001 Gotz toddlers (Ionas). ❤ ❤ Drew, 1968 Trendon boy. ❤ Briana, 1965 Gotz girl. ❤ Gracie, studio bebe and Marie, BIII studio girl. ❤ Jessie, 1967 NP girl. ❤ Mae, 1966 Gotz girl. ❤ Faith, 1968 fringe girl. ❤ Emily, Trendon factory anomaly, blue eyed brunette. ❤ Hazel, Gotz no navel girl. ❤ Whitney, a glorious reroot with braiding by Sarah Willams. ❤ Peg, Gotz no nose. ❤ Jackie, 1970’s wide face gingham girl. ❤ Course dolls with bebe Gracie. ❤ Fozzie Bear with Lucy, Cassie Rogers repaint, Emma Flood reroot. ❤ Kim, factory anomaly, a Gregor with lashes. ❤ Trendon. ❤ Rena, Gotz Yamka. ❤ Adeline, 1967 NP girl. ❤ Val, 1968 waif Trendon girl. ❤ Brett, 1969 Trendon boy. ❤ Casey, 1969 Dungarees girl. ❤ Ebo, Shelly Baxter repaint. ❤ Tilly, 1967 NP girl. ❤ Fara, 1968 fringe girl. ❤ Claire, BIII studio girl. ❤ Chris, 1968 shorts boy. ❤ Sarah, 1970 Gotz no navel girl. ❤ Ellen, 1966-67 NP girl. ❤ Avania, Kelly Wenarsky repainted baby. ❤ Quinn, 1968 shorts boy. ❤ Diana, 1965/66 Gotz girl. ❤ Gertie, Janet Myhill-Dabbs repaint. ❤ Gracie, studio bebe. ❤ Mike, 1970’s Trendon boy. ❤ Marcie, 1970 Gotz no navel. ❤ Johhny, 2001 Gotz toddler (Erik) ❤ Polly, Nikki repaint. ❤ Chloe, 1966 NP girl. ❤ Lewis, 1968 Trendon boy. ❤ Duncan Hans, factory anomaly, blue eyed brunette boy. ❤ Carney, 1966 NP girl. ❤ Ben, BII studio boy. ❤ Gertie again, Janet Myhill-Dabbs repaint. ❤ Joey, 1970 PJ boy. ❤ Briana again, 1965 Gotz girl. ❤ Ryder again, Gotz straight nose boy. ❤ Carney again, 1966 NP girl. ❤ Max, Cassie Rogers repaint. ❤ Nancy, 1980’s Shelly Baxter repaint. ❤ Pearl, 1966 NP girl. ❤ Tassie and Sammie, Cassie Rogers repaints. ❤ ❤ A Sasha Gathering. ❤ Little Dawn, 1960’s Gotz girl. ❤ A peek at Gigi, a BIII studio girl soon to be introduced. ❤ Kate, Janet Myhill-Dabbs studio rendition. ❤ Ginny with llama, 1970’s gingham girl. ❤ Finn and Chloe again.
