VINTAGE TOYS by JEANNE ILLENYE


6x6 inches / oil on panel
From the chubby wooden wheels, to the straw tail, to the silky fur trimmed hat, this little soldier boy was an absolute joy to paint. I hope you like him, too!

Nostalgia is an indulgence which I hope to recall with this charming little pull toy, her wooly body, cloth head and bell tied with a frayed ribbon all depict details which many a child has handled and studied as closely as I have here. She’s seen many happy years being tugged along by a little hand. . . .
