girls of summer


 
(8x10)
On better paper this time ...
After I painted the girls' hair I thought of a show from when I was a kid, Petticoat Junction, that featured three sisters: Betty Jo, a redhead (brain); Billie Jo, a blonde (beauty); and Bobbie Jo, a brunette (bimbo). The show was pretty dumb, but I found it fascinating: I couldn't understand how three sisters could all have different colored hair.
So imagine these girls all diving into a huge watertank in Hooterville.

Dear Laura - lovely girls and certainly makes one think of summer. I used to watch Petticoat Junction too - it was a fun show - loved Uncle Joe too.
