Peter Clark Collages

peterclark1


I'm crazy about the collages of Peter Clark! Years of collecting bits and pieces of interesting and unique paper eventually resulted in Peter arranging them into creative, clever collages. His talents in illustration and graphic art are evident. Maps, book pages, wrappers, stamps, sheet music, comics, photos, tickets, and so on, and so on. Rips, stains and wrinkles are welcome. The more character, the better.

Here are some of Peter's fantastic collages:

Oh, do I love this illustration! 
I still grin as I'm re-reading this, remembering the toddler years of my 3!

Nan Hamilton Animal Pottery Art

nanhamilton7


Nan Hamilton kicks her pottery up a notch by adding gorgeous hand-painted birds, animals or reptiles on each one. Yes, even reptiles. Whether they are inside, outside or perched on the rim, these creatures manage to turn a plain pot into a work of art. I just know you'll share my delight with Nan's talent!

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding anniversary by vacationing in Williamsburg, Virginia. 
We history buffs enjoyed every moment in The Revolutionary City! 
I thought I'd share some photos from our trip. 
Here's where you can find out more about Colonial Williamsburg.

Valeriane Leblond Paints on Wood

ValerianeLeblond2

Valeriane Leblond enjoys painting on rustic wood. A native of Quebec, she relocated to Wales and drew inspiration from its lovely landscapes with rocky cliffs and windswept seas. She paints simple pleasantries of village life. You’ll see handmade quilts and charming cottages. Men out fishing or tending sheep. Women feeding the chickens, hanging laundry out to dry, or picking berries. 

Enjoy the endearing art of Valeriane Leblond!
