Illustration


This image is stunning on so many levels. Primarily because it is as old as me 1962, yet it looks as fresh as any of today’s illustration, it is by Charley Harper and more of his work can be found at www.treadwaygallery.com/HarperExhibit

One of the best parts about being a mother are the children’s books because some of the illustrations are amazing Daisy’s favourite stories were quite traditional including Thomas the Tank Engine and Percy the park Keeper. Kitty also loved any book illustrated by Nick Butterworth as well as Kipper the dog stories, but my favourites are the work of Eric Carle such beautiful inventive collages and Charlie and Lola series by Lauren Child check out the web site for some fun http://www.charlieandlola.com/
