SOLVED. Children's Picture book that deals with a girl in a painting, she runs from her painting because she is bored. This is not a James Mayhew- Katie Adventure! [s]

Good Evening,
I remember a book from my elementary years 1990-1995. It was a book that I enjoyed looking at because the pictures were amazing. The story deals with a girl in a painting, she is bored to tears because she is stuck in a railway station. She can hear a train, a train that never arrives. She rebels and jumps into different paintings. I remember the girl stole a wooden hoop from the girl with the wooden hoop painting. And she stole a ribbon from another girl in another painting. She also landed in picture with a man sitting next to a deep hole in the ground. The naughty girl fell down the hole and the man refused to help her unless she accepted her position in her painting and promised to not run away again. When she is released from the hole, she goes through the different paintings making things right, until she reached her original painting and resumed her original pose. Maybe I am crazy and this is an amalgamation of multiple books. I am no longer certain. However, I sincerely hope the book is real. I have tried multiple searches to no avail. I am hoping fellow book lovers can help me out. Please note, this is not James Mayhew's Katie meets the Impressionists.

Was this a picture book or a chapter book?

Thank you so much. You helped me find a piece from my childhood. Now I can share this book with a new generation of readers.
