Nuremberg Chronicles Art Wood Cuts Book

I have always admired wood block prints. I dream about carving out my own art by a cozy wood fire with a love for art fueling me late into the night by candlelight. Every night. It seems like such a romantic form of art/illustration. With the finding of a Nuremberg Chronicles book published in 1493 just recently in Utah, I am in awe all over again. Do you think anyone would notice if I pulled a loose barn board off and got a knife and started carving intricate swirls for wind, roses, and sunshine, which is also what I dream about the rest of the time?

From what I understand each print was from a wood cut in this book. All 1,809 illustrations. Some illustrations were hand watercolored. We are still romancing wood cuts after all of these years and rightly so.

Alice in Wonderland Kids Mushroom Art

Little Alice has shrunk to the size of the little woodland folk. She's thrilled to meet these new
friends who know the forest so well. Real friends
are so much better than imaginery ones and these are real for sure.

I finally got to see the new Alice and Wonderland
movie. I was trying to notice the wristlettes, but with everything happening so fast you miss it. So maybe the second time I'll catch that. Or on a bigger screen where they are bigger than life.

As with all artists we illustrate our own version and turn of events. This is one of mine. Our siamese cat is in it as a siamese toadstool. Have you ever heard of one of those before? She looks right cute.

This is up on ebay now. Skip on over for a look see!

MADHATTER, WHITE QUEEN and PLAYING CARD BOY Original Art

Three more of the Alice and Wonderland Characters. There are others that I will post soon. The sunny weather is hidden behind clouds but it was bright enough to get some good pictures.

My son told me tonight that he is saving his money to buy a rabbit. Hmmm, maybe I should start painting some other sweet animals besides rabbits. I would love a rabbit too but it wouldn't be so agreeable with our westie dog. So we will just look at them and paint the precious little fella's.

We have new twin lambs that are the softest loving-ist creatures. They are being bottlefeed which makes them very attached to you and vice-versa.

Frog Prince Tea Party Lily Pad Painting

Chapter one-The green prince lives for the moment waiting for his true princess to come calling. His private, floating diningroom with ceilings that reach up to the heavens make for pleasant tea times. The breeze often cools his tea for him. Fresh air, fresh water and lots of friends make his life quite lovely. One lovely thing is lacking and that is a princess. He ponders the thought of setting out on his own travels to find her, but first he must have tea.

This vintage looking acrylic painting I did today and it is listed on ebay for the frog lovers and story tellers. I played catch up all day and it was a good feeling to get some things accomplished.
