Diving into #EdwardLear with the help of #JennyUglow
Loving revisiting his Limericks which I grew up with from his ‘Book of Nonsense’.
This one for you @PETASTROSS ... “There was a young lady of Lucca”

Reading around John Ruskin and feeling a bit like a journalist trying to get at the heart of a story. Will share in a blog soon via https://t.co/n6EbGalHwZ

An extremely exhausting and fulfilling week, so now time for a big weekend of sleep, countryside and relaxation.......inspired by Dante Gabriel Rosetti’s sketch of Jane Morris

‘You alone will have the stars as no one else has them…In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night…You—only you—will have stars that can laugh.’ #PetitPrince
Loved today’s @QuentinBlakeHQ exhibition @LeverArtGallery with sunshine outside & within. These illustrations of birds being taught to fly were my particular favourites & the attitude of the #penguin who had second thoughts & went back indoors #Illustrator #storytelling #art
What a beautiful sunny day & perfect for a trip to see @QuentinBlakeHQ & #JohnYeoman at @LeverArtGallery today!

A day surrounded by snow made our imagination run riot. Thinking of childhood stories began to look again at illustrators of Alice in Wonderland. And discovered these enchanting images by Leonard Weisgard & @ToveJansson1914

Medieval history, melancholy & magic abound @tate Burne-Jones exhibition. Must see before it closes for his intricate drawings, extreme detail & anatomical skill #PreRaphaelites #ArtsandCrafts #WiliamMorris #ArtHappens #ArtHistory #BurneJones
