Betty's Checkerboard Cat on Wood Panel grass and lots of imperfections original

and lots of imperfections original to it

uncloying way

The wheels roll along just fine

These two women look like they're having a good time

they make a terrific clap when struck together

Betty's Checkerboard Cat on Wood Panel grass and lots of imperfections originalI really wish I had other works by the Betty Groose (or similar), who made this in Miss Adams' classroom, grade school I would guess. It's almost as if she was anticipating the digital age, dividing the cat into pixels, though seems more likely she might first have taken a stab at it using graph paper, and then recreated it free hand much better with the squares getting a little wonky here and there. Just great. 9 13 16" w x 7" t x 1 4" d. Crayon on
