Many of her works will be on display in her home during the upcoming Christmas Home Tour, including a water color painting of a young woman which she painted at age 19, and is featured on the cover of the Home Tour brochure.
Doyle told the Kiwanis Club she was so surprised at the notoriety she’s received recently as a result of her drawings.
