Hi all, thank you for all the love and support on my Dolly Parton charcoal portrait. Unfortunately, someone reported it and and the mods removed my post and accused me of using AI for karma manipulation and that my drawing was found to be inauthentic. I have since been ghosted by the mods of this subreddit when asking how I can submit proof that the drawing was hand-made by me.
So I'm submitting it here, enjoy!!!!

Dolly talking about her album 'Rainbow': in a June 1988 Interview:
Dolly's just as clear on her reasons for making a pop album, Rainbow. Certain narrow-minded reviewers have cast it as worthless because it wasn't really country. It was never supposed to be country. Parton's deal with CBS allowed her to make two albums a year, one country, and one pop. "Rainbow is not a country record. You see, I have two sets of fans - country people and pop people. My last album, Trio (recorded with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt), is still doing real well, so it made sense for me to make a pop album this time. I'm real proud of Rainbow."
Love this era of Dolly! I hope to find more pictures so i can upload and share it with yall!
I create mosaic artworks using hand-painted LEGO bricks, and I recently completed a one-of-a-kind portrait of Dolly Parton as a commission. The portrait itself measures about 45 inches square, and including frame it is about 53 inches square. Somewhere north of 10,000 hand-painted LEGO bricks were used for this mosaic.
Unfortunately, the deal fell through, so I am looking to re-home this piece. I'd love for it to find a spot where it can be appreciated and interacted with. I have reached out to Dolly Parton Children's Hospital to inquire about donating it, as well as the Country Music and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but so far, no luck. Please respond or DM me if you have ideas/suggestions.
Thanks so much!
Had to draw this iconic image, she is so gorgeous😍
My Tennessee Mountain Home is one of the only "nostalgic" songs that actually uplifts me instead of depressing me. What other songs (Dolly or otherwise) hit this spot?
I found a copy of Backwoods Barbie at a local used bookstore, and when I got home I found a signed (?) booklet in the case. It was stuck in between the unsigned booklet. Do we think it's authentic, I looked online a little to see if she ever sold signed copies, and tired to verify against her autograph but can't determine if it's real.
