Edie Roberson

The Ladies' Club, 2007
acrylic, pastel 33"x 42"

I love how she turns vintage toys and familiar images into characters in her paintings. See her website here. I found her here.

Lotte Laserstein (1898 - 1993)

Abend über Potsdam (Evening over Potsdam), 1930

I love how each figure seems to have a struggle and a story. Found here. More images here.

Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale (1872 – 1945)

The Deceitfulness of Riches

More found here, here, here, or here. There is a lot on to be found on the web. I would love to have a story book filled with her illustrations.
