Barbie for big girls.

Portrait of a Lady

My husband, daughter and I recently traveled to NYC.  We were there to see my daughter perform at Carnegie Hall.  It was one of those epic moments for a parent and she had a solo (which she nailed!) in one of the pieces they played so it was a piece of cake with major frosting kind of afternoon.  While in NYC, my husband and I were encouraged by a friend ( Thank you Hilda!) to visit the Frick Museum.  What a joy that was!  While there, we saw this amazing portrait and the moment I saw it, I had a picture idea pop into my head.  A visit to their gift shop provided the supplies and this is the result.

If you are ever in NYC and have an afternoon to see some lovely paintings housed in an amazing mansion, I highly recommend visiting The Frick Museum.

    I always go to the Frick collection when I am in New York. I could spend hours in the Fragonard room. I love the portrait you picked because I love this shade of blue. Dania being my favorite Caucasian FR dolls, and this suit my absolute favorite, you definitely caught my attention. Pure chic. I love it. And once more, Congratulations to your beautiful and gifted Megan.

  4. I came across The Frick Museum a few years ago, by chance. We were spending a weekend there and came across it while out for a walk in the park. I agree with you, the mansion was amazing and the art was great too. What a perfect location for it as well. I think you really captured the feel of the painting with your photo. This version of Dania is one of my favourite dolls.
