Good morning Impossible to imagine not including Beatrix Potter in February’s theme of #illustrators. Quite an extraordinary lady too, fascinated by nature and passionate about preservation especially in the Lake District. #books #art #childhoodmemories
So today’s #illustrator and author, Ian Falconer must have met my daughter somewhere when she was younger. His series Olivia must have been based on her and they made me chuckle so much #books #art #childhoodmemories
Good Morning today’s #illustrator and author is Antoine de Saint-Exupéry who brought us Le Petit Prince. Simple beautiful story with simple beautiful water colour illustrations. #books #art #childhood
Good morning it’s wild again so today’s #illustrator & author is Maurice Sendak Where the Wild Things Are. Always makes me think of my son when he was younger if only for the love of a onesie! Learnt today the monsters were meant to be horses but they were harder to draw! #books
Good morning today’s illustrator and book were one of my favourites to read to my children. The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. A beautifully told and illustrated story 💕#books #art #ChildhoodMemories
Good Morning today’s illustrator was suggested by @jamesvhalton Alan Lee now lives on #Dartmoor and was the #illustrator on the 1990 editions of The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit . He travelled to NZ during the filming to help bring the images to the screen.
Today’s #Illustrator has a huge part in our hearts as she brought @paddingtonbear to life Peggy Fortnum. Paddington has been continued to grow in detail and style since but Peggy started our love story. #art #childhood #books
Flower Fairies are another one of those magical time tunnels for me Cicely Mary Barker, created the Flower Fairies. “Unable to go to school as a child because of her epilepsy, she was home-schooled and spent much of her time drawing and painting.” #illustrators #books #childhood
Good morning In need of some sun, the beach and happiness today. So I’ve chosen American artist Edward Henry Potthast and 2 of his joyful paintings. This dispute being painted between 1910-1920. We have always sort joy in dark days. #art #hope #joy #beachlife
