of the following questions

What we today call American folk art was, indeed, art of, by, and for ordinary, everyday "folks" who, with increasing prosperity and leisure, created a market for an of all kinds, and especially for portraits Citizens of prosperous, essentially middle-class republics — whether ancient Romans, seventeenth-century Dutch burghers, or nineteenth-century

Americans — have always shown a marked taste for portraiture Starting in the late eighteenth century, the United States

contained increasing numbers of such people, and of the artists who could meet their demands

The earliest American folk art portraits come, not surprisingly, from New England — especially Connecticut and

Massachusetts — for this was a wealthy and populous region and the center of a strong craft tradition Within a few decades

after the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the population was pushing westward, and portrait painters could be found at work in western New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri Midway through its first century as a nation, the United States's population had increased roughly five times, and eleven new states had been added to the original thirteen During these years the demand for portraits grew and grew, eventually to be satisfied by the camera In

1839 the daguerreotype was introduced to America, ushering in the age of photography, and within a generation the new

invention put an end to the popularity of painted portraits Once again an original portrait became a luxury, commissioned

by the wealthy and executed by the professional

But in the heyday of portrait painting — from the late eighteenth century until the 1850's — anyone with a modicum

of artistic ability could become a limner, as such a portraitist was called Local craftspeople — sign, coach, and house

painters — began to paint portraits as a profitable sideline; sometimes a talented man or woman who began by sketching family members gained a local reputation and was besieged with requests for portraits; artists found it worth their while to pack their paints, canvases, and brushes and to travel the countryside, often combining house decorating with portrait painting

Lily was filled with what seemed like insurmountable excitement She couldn’t imagine anything better than getting that

bike Then, her eyes caught sight of a baby doll sitting on the couch with a huge bow

She knew She knew that the mini bike belonged to her brother and that she had been relegated to that doll It was par

for the course.

Tommy always got cool things: skateboards, gliders, science kits The mini bike was just the latest cool thing

Lily always got the boring gifts: a doll with a gown, a doll with a tutu, a doll with a puppy This doll seemed unusually blah The doll wore a petticoat The doll had short, straight black hair

Tommy had seen that mini-bike in the front window of Moore’s Bike Shop, but hadn’t Lily too? Both had begged for the

bike Both had said it was the only thing they wanted for Christmas Hadn’t Lily asked for it with as much fervor as her twin

brother?

“Thank you, Mama! Thank you, Papa!” he yelled

Meanwhile Lily simmered in the other room She was furious She was enraged She was incensed It took a while for

anyone to even realize she was missing
