Welcome to Friday Art! This is a portrait ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") of Dolly Parton done in watercolour pencil.
This is my inspiration meme:
The meme says Elvis Presley was supposed to cover "I will always love you" but his manager wanted too much money so they had Whitney Houston sing the song instead. Enough said.

A wonderful lady and great musician!
You painted a beautiful picture of her.
What a lovely little ACEO, capturing Dolly Parton's likeness in such a small format with watercolour pencil is impressive! That trivia about "I Will Always Love You" almost going to Elvis is wild to think about - it's hard to imagine the song any other way than Whitney's iconic version. Thanks for sharing both the art and the fun bit of music history!
RIP!
You really caught the likeness. She was so terrific.
That's really good!
What a lovely tribute in art to the one and only Dolly Parton!
Nice one, Christine
Happy Friday

Wonderful art work of Dolly Parton ~ wow! ~ Hugs ^_^
You captured her so well, Christine.
You did a great job.
Great! It's nice that you drew Dolly Parton.
This is beautiful and a wonderful tribute.
Oh and thank you for sharing with FFO. Have a nice weekend.
You captured Dolly. How interesting that Whitney made the song epic.
A lovely tribute to Dolly. RIP
Your art is beautiful of Dolly Christine. I read about her meeting with Elvis' manager and what her response to his wanting the rights of this song on top of everything else. She was a lady as always in how she handled him, and when years later Whitney sang her song, Dolly was elated at her amazing voice and performance of it. It's one of the many stories that make me admire and love Dolly even more.
A wonderful portrait, Christine!!

A wonderful portrait, Christine.
She was such an amazing person.
All the best Jan
An amazing drawing of Dolly, Christine! I'd heard that about Elvis, too.
Lovely drawing. The truth is, Col Parker wanted copy write rights for any song Elvis sang and Dolly wouldn't give them up. This was one of her biggest songs and money makers.
Beautiful art!
interesting story
You did a great job, Christine!
