I often visit the Red Dot Gallery online to see if they have new artists and I found this fab painting. The Library at Blickling Hall Norfolk was the inspiration for this painting by Annette Bird ‘Liber Amantes’ Oil on Linen Canvas.
Walter Crane( 1845-1915) prolific Illustrator and Albert Medal winner for his Childrens illustrations The first one I found for the Christmas Morning song. The rest all by him
‘I saw three ships cone sailing in on Christmas Day in the morning’
Christmas Day is the perfect time to post Anton Pieck’s (1895-1987) beautifully detailed illustrations. Personally I love the bells. The others are all Christmas related I think! Fabulous Illustrations from this Dutch artist
So off we go with our art for today. Fabulous old ladies Grannies/ Aunties. Always doing what they shouldn’t and enjoying it! Role models for the older generation. Inge Löök’s wonderful Illustrations
Margaret Winifred Tarrant (1886-1959) She’s best known for illustrations like these usually young children in a variety of subjects. I chose these because they are Christmassy. Her books are now becoming collectible.
This is La Ghirlandata and Veronica Veronese Alexa Wilding (1847-1884) the model and Rossetti painter. She was his model and muse and there are more paintings of her than Elizabeth Siddall, Jane Morris or Fanny Cornforth. I didn’t know that!
Good Morning.
At last I’m free from Dr S ! It’s been all Turkey talk, our lovely butcher saved a larger one than DrS wanted…and added to the stress.
He forgot the Christmas pud but bought a railway magazine Such is my life as the Emily Dickinson of Twitter fab stained glass
Lunch time for me now I found these cartoons earlier I let them for my cat loving followers
It’s a while since I posted this one and now it’s available as a canvas print by Jazzberry Blue at iCanvas. I don’t know who the original work is by but it makes a good print
These made me laugh.. Bill Bell is the painter of two lots of skating Nuns and ‘Junk Yard Cats’ (the first one ) and I’m not sure what is happening the other !
