"The original piece was created in oils back in 2015. I’m a miniaturist, so working small (normally just a few inches) is how I usually paint, but this piece was a completely new challenge! It has over 250 characters and EACH one is a real toy. I had nearly 40 hours of reference research in this piece before I even picked up a brush! I asked my fans to send me images of their favorite toys, so many of the characters in this piece have their own secret stories behind them. It’s like we all created this piece together and I adored the richness of all the love and memories each character brought to the piece. The idea for the Dolly Collector was just a completely wild, random inspiration, but after I got about 100 hours of painting in I realized I was in trouble – I had only completed about 2 square inches! I bit off WAY more than I realized in tackling such a complex piece. The final painting took hundreds of hours. " - Mab Graves
This piece was one that had been living in my mind or a while, and finally decided it needed to come out. The original piece was painted in oils - with well over 200 characters - all painted on an 8x10 canvas. I don't know what I was thinking! This piece took hundreds of hours! I am so happy to finally have it done and be able to offer it here.
