You are an incredible artist. And your photo...Rima,<br />You are an incredible artist. And your photography is equally stunning.<br />These mossy woods are totally unreal, and 'other worldly'. My brother is artist Troy Howell, who has illustrated all of the 'Redwall' books by Brian Jacques of the UK.<br />(My brother illustrated the U.S. book jackets). I am going to tell him of your blog and Esty site...we wood live in Tolkiens books if we could and never leave.<br />I am in 'heaven' with all of your lovely illustrations...they touch a cord in my heart with your whimsical imagination. I will be ordering some of your prints...how can I 'not' order them? You are, like I said, an incredible artist.<br />Teresa in California, U.S.<br />tscat@sbcglobal.net<br />Have you read the book titled <br />'Dormia'? It is about a Foundling Tree that supports a city in the Ural Mountains. It is going to be made into a movie. It is a fairy tale/adventure with unusual characters and mysterious twists of fate. I had to order it from our book store. The authors are<br />Jake Halpern and Peter Kujawinski.<br />by Houghton/Mifflin publishers.<br />I love puppets and puppetry and am in a few doll making sites. Cloth and Clay Doll ning site which resemble marionettes. <br />Have a wonderful rest of the weekend,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-35720438682265296182010-05-15T08:55:20.846+01:002010-05-15T08:55:20.846+01:00Your art is divine.

I feel they need to be wilder, earthier and more unnerving. And this is pretty much the sort of thing I told Margaret when she asked for fairies. I said well I'll paint woodland folk, I'll paint little men with knobbly noses and funny little hats. That sort of thing. Just not fairies. You see to me these strange little people are indeed people.. the odd ones, the marginal ones, the ones who are not noticed or noticed for the wrong reasons. They are my fairies."<br /><br />Yes, absolutely. It's the Victorians fault. They would sanitise the faeries and make them pretty for the children when actually they are dark and capricious and only do as they wish. Cross them and you'll regret it, respect them and they might, depending on how they feel, reward you. I love the work of Dulac and Rackham, but they are wrong, wrong, wrong about the faeries.Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863034333159354009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-30334861449087592242010-05-11T08:34:38.059+01:002010-05-11T08:34:38.059+01:00Rima, your posts are gifts to your readers.

I read every word you write in them and I do enlarge the fantastic paintings to remember them for my dreams that night. Tonight I will be dreaming of the eyes you painted on each little of the strange little people and on the perfect face of each animal. I think we'll be sitting on mossy rocks at Wistman's Wood, communicating in silence.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11135393270656573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-43976702509264962672010-05-11T04:32:00.595+01:002010-05-11T04:32:00.595+01:00you are truly inspirational...you are truly inspirational...Clay Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08978442361257782495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-39654256385979805632010-05-11T02:33:22.426+01:002010-05-11T02:33:22.426+01:00What a deliciously eerie place amongst the moss an...What a deliciously eerie place amongst the moss and trees.

One could look at it for a long time and keep finiding new things to look at. <br />But sometimes I wonder why don't don't draw and paint happy people too.

The pictures of the woods you show here remind me of a place called Puzzlewood in Gloucestershire. There too the ground is covered with moss which gives off a green otherworldy light. I'd really like to visit Wistmans Wood now. Many congratulations to your brother and his wife, you must be so excited with the prospect of being an auntie! :o) xxJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17593348601123003194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-41025081199289691402010-05-05T18:00:10.848+01:002010-05-05T18:00:10.848+01:00rima wonderful works,wonderful photos.congrs.rima wonderful works,wonderful photos.congrs.Nihanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00637364181584100829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-83096187239486716102010-05-05T10:29:57.012+01:002010-05-05T10:29:57.012+01:00the nut tree is one of my favorite nursery rhymes,...the nut tree is one of my favorite nursery rhymes, so it was an extra pleasure to find hidden in the heart of Turin, a fountain based on this with a silver nutmeg and a golden pear.Gerry Snapehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269492251928362799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-34596189715485741802010-05-05T09:52:23.238+01:002010-05-05T09:52:23.238+01:00Your work is enchanting, it never fails to delight...Your work is enchanting, it never fails to delight.<br /><br />Do you like Richard Dadd I wonder, your work reminds me of his a little?Acornmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14982884920388966786noreply@blogger.com
