Hello there!
Two more Oddfellow's pieces to share:
Delia And Her Dancing Bears 11"x15"x1" Acrylic on wood
One Winter evening, Admiral Oddfellow Bluebeard heard a tiny knock at the door. Upon opening it, he found a fair-haired girl scarcely bigger than a small fire hydrant - shivering, peering up at him, but saying nothing. The girl, called Delia (according to the scrap of paper pinned to her clothes), grew much taller in her time at Oddfellow's, but her hair remained white-blonde, and her eyes remained the same dark pools that first peered up at the Admiral all those years ago. She wears the official capelet of the Society for the Care and Appreciation of Dancing Bears, as she prefers the company of the school's fur-clad denizens. She still hasn't spoken.
And here's the other...
Goodbye To The School 10.5" x 6.5" x 1" Acrylic on vintage plaque
The day came to leave the Orphanage, and they packed her books and she donned her traveling clothes. They bundled her into one of the carriages and kissed her forehead and showered her with well-wishings, and watched as the bear and carriage and girl got smaller and smaller. And she did the only sensible thing to do - she played cat's cradle and she cried and she watched them fade from view.
