Check out Beulah!

Dear diary…
I've now completed my latest painting, Beulah and you can check her out on my website. Next project will be coming up with a new series for my small frames. Right now I'm thinking on the lines of hand-painted watercolour patches imitating wallpaper with stitching.
Watch this space…

Still no help from anyone with ideas of searching for 1920s & 30s popular girls names :(
