Love Eric Ravilious. Also love the magical realist paintings by his wife, Tirzah Garwood, who has been overlooked for far too long https://t.co/s2RilFvCBN

is by Emily Sutton for "A First Book of the Sea" by (2018). Here's Lord Beauford's Scale, just right for the wet & windy weather. I love Sutton's illustrations, full of inventive techniques, beautiful observation, & a nod to Ravilious.
