Everyone looks benign compared to that wicked-looking cat.
The cat is in the know!

I think so!
I really have to say, your blog makes me so happy, every day. Such beautifully selected pictures, we shouldn’t forget about. So much love in those drawings, but also in your choices. Really appreciate the every day effort, not taking it for granted. Cheers from Granada!
How very nice! I do spend some time on picking which and when! Thank you for noticing and commenting.

I am currently reading a book about the Red Rose girls who were illustrators at the turn of the century. I have a feeling you have already posted some of their illustrations, but in case you haven’t, the two most prolific book and magazine illustrators were Jessie Wilcox Smith and Elizabeth Shippen Green.
Yes, I have posted illustrations from Jessie Wilcox Smith, but not from Elizabeth Shippen Green. It sounds like an interesting book – is it?

It’s a bit repetitive but yes, it is interesting. As far as biographies go, it’s not too dry. I would like it to be finished soon so that I can continue on with Edward Hopper. 🙂
The Red Rose Girls…An Uncommon Story of Art and Love by Alice A. Carter. One of the good things is that it has many many images throughout the book. I like Jessie Wilcox Smith’s images the best.
I will check this book out. What I like changes from time to time, but there are some favorites who always stay favorites!
Thanks,
Elephant
That is one adorable cat. I like the shadowy owl too and the witch is a babe.
She is just floating along! I am glad Halloween is almost over – I have had enough for this year!

Now you can get going on Christmas 🙂
Well . . . Christmas comes a bit later . . . I have a few things to celebrate between now and then! I did see Christmas ads on TV starting a few days ago! I hate that. Soon Christmas ads will begin in the summer!!!

Happy Birthday! Happy Anniversary! Happy whatever it is you’re celebrating. Just wanted to be the first to wish you well.
Your friend,
Adrienne
And to you a Merry Christmas, Happy Thanksgiving and an early Hi Ho for all the rest!
Thanks,
