Linda's Little Lovables - "Appreciation" by Linda Avery. Kern Collectables 1978. Plate size approx 8.5 inches. Suggested retail $60.00.
For centuries now, artists have selected children as a primary topic for artistic expression. Many of the brilliant masters, both past and present, have depicted youngsters in many different moods—some pensive, some candid, some happy, and some sad.
But until the year 1977, justice has really never been given, from a limited edition standpoint, to the concept of children in their own little carefree, delightful world of happiness, free from the troubles modern man has brought forth.
The one artist who has succeeded in capturing the joyous moments of youth is Arizona resident, Linda Avey. Considered by the experts as one of the finest new artists today, Linda Avey has a style all her own—playful imagination.
"I'm simply a kid watcher," she says. "Wherever I go. I'm watching children, whether at the zoo or at the supermarket. I enjoy painting them because they usually have open, honest emotions. They can tell a whole story with their body language and facial expressions."
Last year in 1977, Kern Collectibles of Stillwater, Minnesota, one of the most reputable names in the limited edition industry. began a completely new collection of porcelain masterpieces featuring the works of Linda Avey The series is entitled. 'Linda's Little Lovables," featuring none other than her huggable little watercolor Indian children.
The limited edition world was in one of its finest moments with the introduction of the first issue, "The Blessing," which presented to the collector three adorable children gracefully saying a prayer before enjoying their afternoon lunch.
"I wanted to show a child's faith in "The Blessing," Linda said. "And I also wanted to show that children are both thoughtful and thankful. too."
The result of Linda's efforts was overwhelming. The issue of 7,500 pieces was quickly spoken for by enthusiastic seekers of "art in the round,'' and many people had to be turned away because there simply weren't enough plates to fill the intense demand.
Why the success? That's easy ...Linda Avey's artwork was a pleasing change of pace for everyone. Her paintings allowed collectors to journey back to a more pleasant time, a time for fun and adventure.
And, that's just what Linda's 1978 annual edition happens to be about. In a wonderful creation, entitled, ''Appreciation," Linda has captured the friendship of two brothers at the old fishin' hole with their cane poles and bare feet on a lazy afternoon. Could it be that the two lads have "skipped school" and are in the midst of a sneaky game of hooky? Could very well be!
Also. notice the enthusiasm of the younger brother, and witness how much it means to him to have an older brother to help him with life's little problems (Leave it to the little fellow to catch the big one!)
"Appreciation," a truly fascinating creation, will be a limited edition of 7,500 porcelain masterpieces. each bearing the classic hallmark of Kern Collectibles. The plates will also be sequentially numbered, and bordered in exquisite 24k gold, enhancing the over-all composition of the issue.
However. because of the success of Linda's initial plate, demand for "Appreciation" is again likely to be heavy. In short, with the extreme interest shown thus far, we cannot guarantee everyone a copy. So, we urge everyone interested in the second issue of 'Linda's Little Lovables" to contact their favorite dealer at once before the supply is exhausted.
Since Linda Avey was old enough to hold a watercolor pen, she has been carrying on a love affair with little people, always painting them joyous, busy. bright and cheerful. "Appreciation" fullfills a lifelong dream by the artist to share with the collecting public her characters of a delightful, playful world of unsurpassed happiness.
