Lena, Is Ella Collins the same as Donnie Ellen? Or is she a third wife? I actually know Jeannie. If you're talking about Jeannie Maddox. I've always known she was related but didn't know how. As a matter of fact two of her prints hang behind me as I type. I didn't know she still taught. My sister took from her when she was young. I thought she was too big to still teach. I paint now - oils - mostly portraits - self-taught. I've always wanted to take lessons from Jeannie. Portraits aren't real popular in Utah. I just do it for myself, friends, and family. And I am a novice! Write back to me about your book, price, etc. I may be interested. Kay
