What would the girl who has everything like this Christmas? How about a 1950's cocktail dress and a chainsaw? Better yet a painting by Kelly Reemtsen. With an obvious nod to
Wayne Thiebaud, a bit of
J. C. Leyendecker and a compelling sense of fashion accessorizing, Ms. Reemtsen offers up some entertaining images of the mid 20th century woman. There is a bit of fantasy meets reality to the pictures; the glamorous dressed up look combined with the tools of hard labor that were more often than not, part and parcel of keeping the home. This dichotomy is also captured in her vibrant candy-like depictions of pills. "Mothers little helpers" I believe they've been called.

Happy Holidays everyone.
