I was about to post something else when I discovered these pictures of the young Ward Kimball and his wife Betty on Cartoon Brew. I immediately put my own post aside, so I could put these up instead. They're just too good to get anything less than the widest possible attention.
As I said, the picture above is of animator Ward Kimball and his wife Betty. Betty recently died at age 97. I don't know if I've ever seen a photo which so perfectly conveys young love. The two seem so right for each other, so serene in each other's company. If Eisenstadt or some other famous photographer had taken it, it would find its way onto the walls of a major museum. Since it's a personal, family photo I don't know what its fate will be.

Above, a beautiful sketch, which also conveys the feeling the two had for each other. What a powerful medium pencil and paper is when it's in the right hands!

Ward did this sketch (above) of Betty sleeping. Very nice! I wish I could have met her when she was alive! I'm glad the two had each other.
Thanks to Amid for putting up the pictures I swiped. You can see the whole set at Cartoon Brew, July 4th entry:
