Darlene Scar’s China Painting

China painting may have been my Aunt Darlene Scar’s most enduring hobby. She took lessons from Dorothy Beck Stroh and Janet Myers, was part of a china painting group at Stuart for years, and owned her own kiln.

Darlene must have done dozens of these little dears!

The boy version.

Chris Scar, Daughter-in-Law

Chris said this was done with a special technique. Darlene was always trying new things. She won a purple ribbon at the Iowa State Fair for this plate-sized piece. Dan Love made the oak frame for it.
Darlene painted this bluebird for her sister Doris’s birthday in 1998.
