April 21,2013. I am a happy winner of original painting of China Girl made by the artist Natalia Babi.

I fell in love with this original painting of a rising artist Natalia Babi. I love her unusual detailed artwork that reminding me of filigree jeweler’s masterpiece and like any other fairy tale that ends on a positive note—she introduced a concept of transferring broken china pieces into wonderful fly-away butterflies. Certainly it will become a unique collectible item for my Oz-collection.
Since I donate and displays my collection of Oz memorabilia at various museums regularly ( see About me page), I plan to display “China Girl” alongside with one of a kind Oz marionettes in the National Museum of American History in 2014 in the new entertainment wing.

For the first time, I didn't think about the film and the man behind the curtain. I thought about the man behind the words in all these books. That's when I knew I wanted to be a writer."

From wikipidia:
Judith Ann Jance is an American author of mystery and horror novels. She writes at least three series of novels, centering on retired Seattle Police Department officer J. P. Beaumont, Arizona county sheriff Joanna Brady, and Ali Reynolds.
