oh lovely! only now I want one of Victoria's pendants so much. :-x

Have you ever seen Michael Leunig's work? He's an Australian artist/poet. I love his stuff.

Here's one I like:

My alltime favourite is his poem about a broken heart, but I can't find it online. :-(

I do indeed, I am half Romnichal. My mother's generation was the last to travel.

I truly love your blog! You fascinate me with your art as well :)

My daughter (10) wants to say that she loves your drawings and that you are very interesting.

I have two links for you:

Illustrators: http://www.barefoot-books.com/ (ok, it does play some irritating music when you get to the page, but if you go the the artists pages it's much more interesting, I promise!)

You never fail to inspire, thanks so much. They all seem to have a quietness about them which I fear I may disturb if my 'IF' post today gets out! hehe x

Ahh thanks folks, glad you enjoyed these delights ...

2008-07-01T11:45:00.000+01:00

Ahh thanks folks, glad you enjoyed these delights :) Lovely to hear that it brightens your day Pilar to come here.. I'm touched.
And interesting how people see bits of these artists in my work... I guess there's a common thread of something that we are all drawn to...

Ahhh. Somehow no matter how awful a day I've been...

2008-07-01T05:08:00.000+01:00

Ahhh. Somehow no matter how awful a day I've been having, I end up here, and I become inspired again. Warm and familiar, all of you yes. Makes me wonder just what might come out of my own fingertips, would I be brave enough to let them speak in color and ink! Big thanks, Rima. 'twas a rough one, up to this point! :)

I always love to check out the artists you recommend, Rima. Great post, thank you!

Oh, sweet Rima these are so lovely! Thanks for sharing! I'm off to squirrel around these amazing links now. Thanks!

Oh lovely Rima! I especially like Oliver's work. Seems so authentic. Yes, still pretty rainy here, a small moment of blue sky happened this morning so we went up to the waterfalls outside Largs - lovely! Apparently next week is more of the same - ah well.... Oh, and about the new paintings, they don't use different materials but I painted them differently! Might try layering some oil glazes on top soon though....Hope you're both well!

Thanks for introducing such a delightful collection of artists. I am particularly drawn to Yuko's work, it is so decorative in an unconventional way.

What a great idea to highlight artists in this way...

2008-06-29T08:29:00.000+01:00

What a great idea to highlight artists in this way (and what a terrific collection of unique art!)

Yes, your work causes me to 'feel things' indeed!

2008-06-29T03:17:00.000+01:00

I "lose myself" on your blog fromtime to time, never absolutely certain why (other than the fact that it is a lovely thing to read!)until now.That bit about travelling to similar places at different hours suddenly struck a chord and I saw myself, age 3 or 4, propped up on pillows with an Arthur Rackham book to help me through whooping cough.Whatever medicine they gave me sent me into a dreamy world...travelling to strange places.
Thankyou for all your links and explanations.

Hi, Rima! My name is Jules, and I blog at Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast. Can you email me at seventhings@gmail.com? I'd love to feature some of your work, if you're interested at all, at our site, but I can't seem to find your email address at this blog (I'm probably just missing it). If you're interested at all, contact me. I love your art work featured here!

Thank you Rima for such kind words!
I did recognize the familiar faces in your art.And I knew they were the same guys that hide from me during daytime:)they do peek from behind rocks and trees and wink, and then hide again. So I have th foxes dryads to keep me company.

These artists are wonderful. If you took each of them, shook them up, and blended gently, added other ingredients unmentioned, I believe you'd get your works. I see a little bit of each of them in what you you do, the skill, the thought, the line, the subject, the place.

I dearly love that you and Ms. Usova made an original art trade, and such a fair one. Her observation about you visiting the same place at different times of day, rings both true and dear.
